Here, you can make an alternate election infobox

Heres one: Watergate never happens, and Reagan is nominated in 1976 against Jerry Brown

No Watergate, but VP Ford loses to Reagan in the primaries?

I doubt Ford would have won if he wasn't president.

Heres how I do it:

Step 1: Create a wikipedia account
Step 2: Copy a presidential election infobox from one of their articles
Step 3: Paste it on your sandbox
Step 4: Modify it

And boom, done!

YeeHaw Junction has a population of under 100, and would not support a Congressional district, and certainly wouldn't elect Grayson. Otherwise, awesome infobox! I'd also suggest replacing Kaptur with Jill Stein.

Well, for Grayson, I wanted some young, bernie-esque sort of person like Mulcair. Also, Stein was a nobody before 2010, she never reached any name recognition outside Massachusetts, While Kaptur was a representative sine 1983, and I wanted to correspond their political careers to the time the Canadian Candidates got nominated (In other words, A Green Party would not nominate a 1-year city council member in 2006 to run against Culberson). As for Yeehaw Junction, I will be changing that.

I made an infobox based on this post, to make it more than just Sanders becoming Perot and Clinton and Sanders switching places.

Realistically, Sanders would only work as Ralph Nader on steroids and win Vermont. But that's not what the post was.

It has 16, but the resizing of the map changed it to 18.
EDIT: Original map (note GA has 16 EVs and not 18)

No need for photoshop; you can use the Wikipedia sandbox. However, Inkscape is useful for making Wikipedia-style election maps.

No no, Obama is a Muslim in this world. Only racist conspiracy theorists think he's a secret Christian.
