Noticed that 6% of Trump voters apparently regret their vote. So I gave Trump 94% of his 2016 vote total with nothing else changing.

what might this map be?

Since no one guessed, I will tell now:

This map is based on the number of times each state voted for landslide losers in the past 100 years.

The landslide losers are:

Smith in 1928
Hoover in 1932
Landon in 1936
Wilkie in 1940
Dewey in 1944
Stevenson in 1952
Stevenson in 1956
Goldwater in 1964
McGovern in 1972
Carter in 1980
Mondale in 1984

Gray states never voted for a landslide loser.
The lightest shade of green voted for a landslide loser once.
The darkest shade of green voted for 5 landslide losers (Georgia).

Here are a series of maps for an alternate, parallel version of the early twenty-first century in the United States. These maps cover the elections from 2000 to 2020:

2000: Al Gore, Riding off Clinton's Popularity, Defeats George W. Bush

2004: Gore Goes Down to McCain

2008: McCain Wins a Narrow Reelection over H. Clinton

2012: Romney Goes Down to Rutherford

2016: Rutherford Wins Decisive Landslide Reelection over Trump

2020: VP Ford Succeeds Rutherford by defeating Cruz

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

funny how your timeline has Arkansas going from Democrat in 2008 to Republican in 2012 even as 2008 is a close Republican win and 2012 is a comfortable Democrat win.

Doing another from my strange, strange series. Here's 2052!


Governor Derek Richardson (R-SC)/Governor Timothy Tang (W-WA): ~350 EVs, ~53%
Vice President Marcus Smith (D-WY)/Governor Jessica Jean (D-TN): ~205 EVs, ~47%

Hoo boy, there's a lot to unpack here.

The Presidential election of 2052 saw a Republican return to the White House after eight years in opposition, and represents a nation crying out for change as the Democratic Party was rocked by economic misfortunes, a worsening world stage, and corruption scandals that consumed the Lopez White House. Future historians might take pity on Lopez, as he did advance some amazing policies as President and the economy and world stage were out of his control, but the corruption was entirely on him and his staff (minus one, but we'll get to him later).

This opened an opportunity for Derek Richardson, deputy communications director under President Seagull turned Governor of South Carolina turned President-elect. He campaigned on an uplifting platform of change, clearly drawing inspiration from Barack Obama. With his party still being the technocratic moderate party, he was given the perfect vehicle to run against an administration seemingly brought to its knees by scandal. In August polls, he was up against Vice President Marcus Smith by as much as 15%! To his credit, Smith did have a lot going for him. He was never implicated in the scandals, and ran a solid campaign focused on policy and on reasoned solutions to the nation's struggles abroad. For his efforts, he was given the job of Secretary of State under the Richardson administration.

With that out of the way, let's talk about the states. This six-point win led to some very weird results. (then again, this alignment has no region voting as a monolith, so weird is to be expected) Texas had been a solidly Democratic state, voting for the Ds in every election but one from 2020-2048. But growing and increasingly Republican suburbs have thrown a wrench into that status. With Democratic cities, a Democratic Southwest area, Republican suburbs, and Republican rural areas, Texas has gone from Solid D to toss-up, and Richardson won it by the same 6-point margin he carried the nation with.

California had also shifted to the center. While its Southern region remained solidly Democratic, Northern California started to resemble its brothers to the north, Oregon and Washington. Aiding the Republican shift was BrownRoads, the high-speed rail that connects the nation together. The cities that make up the New West were started by people leaving California and the PNW states, making the remaining electorate on the coast more Republican. All these factors together gave Richardson a 2-point win in a state that, until now, had yet to go Republican this century.

Finally, the New West, or "Mirror Appalachia." Both it and its spiritual sibling in the East benefitted from BrownRoads with new cities, leading to population growth, economic improvement, and the most liberal suburbs in America. When President Lopez won his first election, Montana and Wyoming had shifted fully, but Idaho and South Dakota had yet to get there. Here, Idaho and South Dakota have swung sway from the GOP, "Vermonting," so to speak. Montana was the lone holdout, going for Richardson by a single percentage point.

At the congressional level, the GOP expanded their House majority by 16 seats, and picked up the Senate for the first time since 2036. They gained a net of 6 seats, taking Washington, California, Connecticut, Florida, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Nevada, but losing a seat in Idaho. And because Democrats were so overexposed in the upcoming Class 1, this Senate majority would last more than one election cycle! Senator William Huntsman (R-UT) will lead the GOP Senate Majority, and Senator Moises Serrano (D-NC), who won re-election this year by a single percentage point, will lead the Democratic minority.

This will be Serrano's final term, and when he does leave, (either in 2058 or as part of the cabinet should a Democrat win in 2056) Ethan Jackson (D-NM) will replace him. Jackson is a political legend. He contributed heavily to President Harris' re-election at the age of 22 before managing President Lopez' successful 2044 campaign. After that, he was Chief of Staff for 3 years before leaving to win an open Senate seat in New Mexico in 2048, during which time he has been a natural legislator and expert vote-getter. And while he probably should have been sullied by the Lopez corruption scandals, the most comprehensive accounts of the corruption at the Lopez White House has everything beginning about 4 months after Jackson's departure.

My first full on map here. One showing trump winning by a large margin in 2020. This is for my timeline I plan on making later. The larger numbers show that the electoral college is now changed on now the districts are proportional to the smallest state population.
