Neat! could we see a map?

Sure! Here it is:


I made this a while ago, so I don't fully remember the rationale for which states McCain won. But it made sense at the time. If I recall though he did well with over 65s (Florida, and to some extent Arizona), suburban voters (strong support in NOVA, Atlanta Suburbs, and St. Louis/Kansas City areas), moderates (New Hampshire) and benefitted from suppressed  turnout among social conservatives, and poor GOP numbers among Mormons, (Utah).It was something like that, anyway.

What program do you use for the maps? I can never get them to look right. Currently on MS Paint.

I 100% endorse this.

She's better than McCain and Paul, I guess...

2006 Presidential election. The backstory is that Dems take congress in 2002 and they decide to make it so the president has to be re-elected every two years.

This would require a constitutional amendment. Dems won 67 seats in the Senate?

The 2024 United States presidential election was the 60th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Incumbent Democratic President Joe Biden and his running mate, incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris were elected to a second term. They defeated the Republican ticket of former President Donald Trump and Governor Ron DeSantis.

Despite speculation that he would not seek re-election due to his age, Biden announced he would run for a second term following the 2022 midterm elections. Biden had alienated the progressive wing of the party and faced an unsuccessful primary challenge from U.S. Representative Nina Turner from Ohio, who suspended her campaign after failing to win a single primary contest on Super Tuesday.

The Republican primary was thrown into disarray following former President Donald Trump's decision to seek the nomination. Several candidates such as U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley faced pressure to suspend their campaigns and unite behind Trump. Eventually, Trump faced only token opposition from New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, a moderate. Sununu only won a single primary contest, his home state of New Hampshire. Trump selected Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as his running mate. Because the Constitution prohibits electors from casting both of his or her votes for persons from his or her own state, Trump changed his registration back to his home state of New York. Had he not done this, either he or DeSantis would have forfeited his electoral votes from Florida.

The tone of the campaign was described by many as inconsistent. Democrats focused heavily on the economy, while Republicans centered messaging on culture war issues. Republican strategists believed they would be unable to persuade voters on economic issues due to Biden's popularity on the economy following the 2021-2022 economic recovery as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump emphasized his opposition to cancel culture and Critical Race Theory, and falsely claimed that the Biden administration wanted to defund the police. Biden emphasized his accomplishments with the economy and the improved relations with America's allies.

Biden defeated Trump for a second time, winning a majority of the electoral college and the popular vote. Biden flipped North Carolina, which had only voted for the Democratic candidate once since 1976 (in 2008, when Biden was also on the Democratic ticket as Barack Obama's running mate). Biden did not win Nebraska's 2nd congressional district, which was redrawn following the 2020 United states census. It was the first election to see an exact rematch since 1956, when incumbent President Dwight Eisenhower defeated Adlai Stevenson for a second time.

Trump and numerous Republicans attempted to subvert the election and overturn the results, falsely alleging widespread voter fraud and trying to influence the vote counting process in swing states, just as they did before, during, and after the 2020 election. Trump refused to concede the election, and vowed to run for Speaker of the United States House of Representatives so he could impeach Biden and Harris for "stealing the election twice", and become President himself.

-SNIP-

This seems very realistic. But why is Trump in New York?

It's explained in one of the paragraphs. If Trump and DeSantis were both listed as from Florida, then Florida's electors couldn't vote for both of them. It's why Cheney registered that he was in Wyoming in 2000, even though he had been living in Texas.
