This map is all about me:

I'm guessing that green are the states that you've lived in, yellow are those that you have just visited, and the grey ones are those that you haven't been to.

2000

President Jean Chretien-New York (D)-362 EV
Idaho Governor Stockwell Day    - Reform 75Ev
Rep from Texas Gilles Duceppe - Bloc South 62 Ev
Vermont Senator Alexa McDonough Progressive 32  EV
Former President Joe Clark from Texas  (R)   7 EV  

Interesting idea. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest.

1920's Parley Christensen and 2012's Gary Johnson both got 0.99% of the vote.

Christensen's was concentrated in just a few states, namely Washington and South Dakota where he got about 20%. Johnson's was far more spread out. Johnson was on ballots in all states except OK and MI (he was a write-in in MI though) and Christensen was only on 19 ballots. I have only included results from those 19 states in which Christensen was on the ballot. Johnson's second best state, Montana was one of Christensen's stronger states. Both NY and PN were within 0.05% of going to Christensen, which would have given him the election.

Former Governor Gary Johnson (L-NM) - 131

Former State Representative Parley Christensen (F.L.-UT) - 69

Apologies for the crappy quality. Wiki is stupid and uses transparent images which turn black when I put them into Paint, so I had to take a screenshot of the blank map.

Raymond Haight (Progressive Party of CA in 1934) vs. Tom McClintock (Republican Party in 2003 recall)

McClintock beats Haight by about 0.4% in the popular vote. The county map is really wonky though.

1948

Former Governor Jasper McLevy (Labor-Connecticut)/Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (Labor-Minnesota) 291 electoral votes, 48.5% of the popular vote
Governor Thomas Dewey (American-New York)/Senator Richard B. Russell (American-Georgia) 236 electoral votes, 45.8% of the popular vote
President Henry Agard Wallace (Independent Labor-Iowa)/Senator Glen Taylor (Independent Labor-Idaho) 4 electoral votes, 4.7% of the popular vote

Cool map! I can't say that I've ever seen one with a President Henry Wallace pushed to a third party for a (re?)election.

I see that I'm not the only one who follows r/MapPorn. I'll admit to being confused about this map before seeing the Reddit post though.

Joe in '04 - Part 2 (See p. 211)

Interesting. What does the 2004 Democratic map look like?

Rubio Packs it After New Hampshire

I was messing around with excel last week assuming that Rubio dropped out after NH and Carson dropped after SC. I had similar results. Any idea about Puerto Rico?

(could somebody translate these into atlas maps? Might be hard because I closed the tabs before I could get info on the EV counts for these states)

Using the existing EC I was able to get both candidates to >=400 electoral votes and a more favourable senate.

edit: why does imgur do this

I've been using sli.mg to add my own pictures/maps to forum posts.

Democrats Divided

Sanders runs and takes whatever percentage he got in that state's primary from Clinton. (Note: I added his write ins in Vermont to his score).

Trump 451 (heh)
Clinton 68
Sanders 19

1912 with a 20% swing from Wilson to Debs. This feels like it may have been done before but it's fun regardless.

Former President Theodore Roosevelt (P-NY) / Governor Hiram Johnson (P-CA) - 211 EV, 27.4%
President William Howard Taft (R-OH) / President of Columbia University Nicholas M. Butler (R-NY) - 147 EV, 23.2%
Governor Woodrow Wilson (D-NJ) / Governor Thomas R. Marshall (D-IN) - 127 EV, 21.8%
Former State Senator Eugene V. Debs (S-IN) / Mayor Emil Seidel (S-WI) - 46 EV, 26.0%

What makes this really interesting is how many states Taft and Roosevelt gain.
