1916/2000 comparison :

Blue : Wilson/Bush
Light blue : Hughes/Bush
Light red : Wilson/Gore
Red : Hughes/Gore

Also, New Hampshire is the wrong color : it should be dark blue.
Extremely close, and New Hampshire is the right color.

Ok, I got it.
It's a comparison between 1916, 2000 and 2004, with dark red meaning voting for Hughes, Gore and Kerry and dark blue being Wilson and Bush. Light shades are combinations of those.

Yes.

Can we go ahead and clarify that this is data from elections 1968 and up because of the presence of D.C?

Yes.

Jimmy carter Vs. Nelson Rockefeller, 1976???

I doubt that Rockefeller would lose his home state, but it's based on (a) historical election(s).

1980 trend applied to 1976.

(Good starting point for a Reagan '76 scenario).

The three turquoise states (Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico) are all swing states (though NM might be blue).

Am I on to something?

Yes, but it's not obvious.



Hint:  The closest state is New Hampshire, with a margin of a mere 38 votes.

'72 giving Schmitz the same % as Wallace '68, average of a uniform national swing of 12.11 and a multiplication of his vote total by 9.53 in each state, taking entirely from Nixon.  Write-ins were used for states where he did not appear on the ballot, in states without specific candidates listed for "write-ins" the total write-in vote was assumed to be for Schmitz, in states that did not report write-ins it was assumed he received 0% of the vote (and therefore would receive 6.055% under these conditions).

EV totals:

Nixon: 394
McGovern: 123
Schmitz: 21

Scenario I just ran on President Elect.

(Nixon defeats Chisholm 80-20 and 538-0 in 1972, she receives 45% in DC and 30% in MA, her strongest state, while Nixon receives 89% in KS and OK).

Chisholm would at least win D.C.

It's a game...

(And I gave Nixon a DC running mate, lol)
