Post random maps here

Now I'm curious. Anyone who can come up with an idea/combination of tickets here?



In the end, the Republican ticket wins 292-246.

What about this one?

Any way such a map would be possible?



It gives us a 390-184 Democratic win, further underscoring what little importance the deep south plays these days...

Now, if every voter had voted according to their race, meaning every non-Hispanic white would have voted Republican and every non-white would vote Democratic, we would have ended up with this map in 2010:



The Republican candidate would win 437-101.

Notice how the states become lighter blue or turn to red the more south you move, almost without exceptions. (New York, New Jersey, D.C. and Illinois being the major exceptions.)

2012 if all national demographics vote opposite of what they normally did. For example, whites vote 60-40 Democrat, instead of 60-40 Republican, while blacks vote 95-5 Republican, instead of 95-5 Democrat.

This map is a 316-222 win for Republicans.

Goes to show that the future does not lie in the white vote. Even if Obama had won the white vote with 40% more than he actually did in 2012 (+20% instead of -20%), he would still have lost in a landslide if he lost the minority votes as badly as he won those instead. Should be some pretty good news for Democrats looking ahead.
