Post random maps here

[King]

I kind of stole Liberty and Gabu's maps and merged them together in a way:

The American West becomes tired of the east coast ruling everything wants to be come an independent nation in the name of states' rights(Republicans side with West).  The American East wants to keep the Union as a whole in the name of economic growth (Democrats side with East).  The Heartland is undecided and is worried about a war with them as the central ground (Libertarians gain support of some Centralites, which explains the >40% only there).

Hey Bacon King.  I am the other King of this forum.

Here's a random map:

That's not random. That's a map of what Hawaii would look like if it looked like Switzerland.

That sounds random to me.

[King]

That's Birmingham, Alabama if looked like Birmingham, Michigan if it looked like Birmingham, Alabama.

Here's a random map
What is it??

And, no it's not based on an actual election.

Be more specific

Easy, those are the most populous states.

Okay, the most populous states until you could win an election.

sorta, it's the fewest States needed to win Electoral Majority

It's also the 11 states with the most electoral votes.

Democrats nominate a labor communist, the Republican candidate gets assassinated before the election, and a strong 3rd party candidate was running anyway.

How about this one?

EV TOTALS: Republican gets 271, Democrat 137, and 3rd Party 130.

That's interesting; there seems to be a distinct correlation between voting Republican and dying in a motor vehicle accident.

Probably because Democratic areas are urban and feature a lot more public transportation and less cars than rural Republican areas.

John King playing with the extra colors on his fancy CNN map machine.

Red -- 138
Blue -- 185
Green -- 215

Ind-474...44% popular vote
Dem-38...27% popular vote
Rep-26...28% popular vote

HINT: This map was made using stats from the 2004 election.

Registered Democrats vs Registered Republicans vs Independents?

Nope... it's what would happen if every member of the voting age population who didn't vote registered and turned out in 2004 to cast a ballot for the same 3rd party candidate.  Red states are states still won by John Kerry despite the 100% turnout and the blue states are states still won by Bush.  People who don't vote could alone elect a President in a landslide.

Aw come on.  Don't just guess wildly.

States that are more perfectly square/rectangular than their neighbors?

[King]

That's just a random map.

That's just a random map.

Wooow. Thanks.... I mean a real prediction. How would that map happen? Or are you just going to throw in more not needed comments?

Well, the point of this thread basically is to show us a map of some sort of statistic.  And then we guess what that statistic is.

You just selected a bunch of completely random colors and percentiles.  So, I called it for what it was:  A map of completely random colors and percentiles.

Mine is similar to Antonio V's so I'm not gonna have you guess... 12% flat swing to Perot, 6% from Clinton, 6% from Bush

This is what I expect to have happened had Perot not dropped out and remained in the low 30s.
