Battle of the Hoosiers

I read that as "Battle of the Hookers".

The problem with that is that left-wing economic policies aren't that popular. Also, this is the wrong venue for this argument.

Nice lastwordism. Leave the thread or post a map.

This is the electoral college of the United States after a census a few centuries from now. As you can see, a few things have changed.

Candidates win the state where the party convention is held. Clinton wins.

Obama still wins, and FL is seen as tilt R later.

The resulting domino effect from a forced GOP flip in MN knocks down the midwest and is just powerful enough for FL and the election to go to McCain

2004 is a huge GOP landslide bigger than '80 or '88. Only a handful of liberal doves back the Democrats.

A forced flip of PA is enough to crack the upper midwest. Shockwaves from California do flip NV as Hispanics are stronger for Dems, but FL, while very close, "remains" GOP.

A forced flip of CA give the GOP a win as they break the hearts of Democrats when election results return from west of the MS.

The country shifted 8 points from 1R (roughly)- 7 D, I simply added 8 to the D column and took 8 away from the R column. This result is that Tennessee is won by Obama by 2 points.

You are doubling the swing there then. If the country shifted 8 points D, then you would add 4 points to the Democrats and subtract 4 from the Republicans for a uniform swing.

So the result is that Obama wins every state that Kerry lost by 16% or less, right? Also Bush won the PV by 2.5% in 2004.

Seems about right. I don't see why Harris wins Rhode Island though.

Misread it as 1.4% which I rounded down to 1.

...Math was never my strong suit. If that's true, then I guess the appropriate name is "double swing" since that's pretty much the entire shtick.

Good thing this is the "random maps" thread and not something with higher stakes.

2016 if we lived in a functioning Democracy:

Clinton still got the most votes though. I don't think he's suggesting that a majority wins as opposed to simply getting more votes.

Clinton would have received all Jill Stein votes, and about half of Gary Johnson votes with IRV. That is enough for a majority.

Nah. 90% of Stein voters, probably higher, despised Hillary Clinton. I'd expect a higher percent of them to go for Trump (or Johnson, or a socialist candidate if running) than you would think.
