[Huey Long is a Republican]

Probably Phil Bredesen vs. Bill Haslam vs. the head of the Tennessee Greens, knowing you

Actually, wrong!

As a serious guess, Brian Sandoval vs. Hillary Clinton vs. Elizabeth Warren

Yes.

BTW, I didn't even know Tennessee had a Green Party

Yes.

You've got solid taste, I had an abandoned TL idea where Brian Sandoval, easily one of my favorite politicians, ran in 2016. And I didn't know that TN had Greens either, I was just joshing you based on your fetish for Tennessean politicians.

[Kyle Rittenhouse is a Political Prisoner]

1968 with Wallace as Democratic candidate, getting same share of the vote as H³, while H³ runs as progressive third party and winning DC. Wallace is rejected by the nation as concerned with Southern issues and interests to the exclusion of the rest of the USA.

I ran the numbers, and I got an identical map, with the exception of Maryland, which I believe goes to Wallace.

[PRESIDENT STANTON]

The 2024 map might be boring & Kennedy no doubt wins Bigly, but some of us might be curious enough to know whether it was Obama (2008) Bigly or Clinton (1996) bigly or LBJ (1964) bigly, so indulge us!😊

Above is a little game in which I take a Romney state and give it counties over to an Obama state with a raw vote margin just a bit less to flip it. I've done 2016 versions yesterday. Below is the 2016 map with the first map's counties.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

I flipped as many states as I could; ND and SD stay R because too hard to flip them without making a very tiny state.

New England stays D because too much packing.

Alaska and Hawaii stay R/D because they are non-contiguous.

DC stays D because I felt like leaving it alone.

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

From a President-Elect 1988 simulation

2020: Popular Junior SC Senator [NAME REDACTED BECAUSE IT'S ME] wins the primary on a progressive platform, and chooses VT Senator Bernie Sanders as his running mate. Trump continually shoots himself in the foot, especially at debates. Once election night comes, [REDACTED] is ahead in even traditionally GOP states, but by the end of election night, he does even better than expected.

[REDACTED]/Sanders: 521 EV, 58.8%
Trump/Pence: 17 EV, 41.9%

Oklahoma is closest, decided by 12,000 votes.

All the counties in the country that contain all the bottom 100 poorest non-college towns and cities are merged into a single state, the capital of which is Pittsburgh. The state is represented on the map as Wyoming, with WY itself swallowed by Montana.

khw

The state voted 50.9% for Obama '12.

Here's a new one. This is a map of the 1992 election, if all of the Bill Clinton + Ross Perot votes were combined together. As you can tell, it would be a Democratic landslide:

Governor William Jefferson Clinton (D-AR)/Senator Albert Gore, Jr. (D-TN)-530 EV-61.92%
President George H.W. Bush (R-TX)/Vice President Danforth Quayle (R-IN)-8 EV-37.45%

I might make an alternate scenario, perhaps involving alternate candidates, with this map later on.

[bagelman]

Same idea with the poorest counties. Brownsville is the capital. South Texas and Clayton GA overpower the strongly GOP rural whites.

khw

The state voted 53% Obama '12.

What would these hypothetical states have looked like in 2016?

If Clinton had actually won the PV by this margin in real life, there's no way Mississippi would be the last state to vote for him. very neat map though, and I might make a county map for it.

That's the map

I made two states each for the top 50 and the second top 50 richest counties, by median as opposed to per captia. They both voted about the same.

I would suspect that, but all I did was combine the raw numbers, and these are the results which are produced. Mississippi, the state where Bush came closest to winning an absolute majority IRL, stays Republican here by a margin of just 0.19%. It is about as close as Minnesota was in 1984, in terms of denying the winner a 50-state sweep.

And yes, I was going to ask you whether or not you could create a county map for this scenario. And also, have you seen my questions on the Alternate History board? You should check your alerts there.

So I gather Clinton would have won each with around 50% of the vote?
