All African American majority counties are moved to their own state, represented by WY, which is merged into MT.

I imagine that Clinton would have garnered ~90% of the vote?

you should have just moved Wyoming into DC.

[bagelman]

Same idea with Hispanics. Weird calculations as NC and MO, both unchanged, gain an EV each.

No, because this is all counties with black majorities of 50%+. Includes the white populations of those counties as well. Nearly all are in the deep south, which are very polarized racially, so if a county is 60% black for example it would've gone something between 55 and 65% D, depending on the state in question and turnout. I'd guess the percentage would be in the 60s.

Clinton got in the 70s, as the map should show.

How are Mississippi and Alabama only R>60% when you remove all their majority black counties?

[Dr. MB]

2016 if the result of the state mirrored that of the largest county.

Clinton/Kaine 477
Trump/Pence 61

Same thing, but of the smallest county:

Trump/Pence 391
Clinton/Kaine 147

Likely because there's still a pretty high black presence in the remaining counties – a 51% white county wouldn't be removed for example.

Always nice to see a belt of Atlas red stretching from LA to SC.

Democrat: pro "counterculture", pro free speech, socially libertarian

Republican: neoconservative, moral majority

[bagelman]

My last map was based on metal bands per captia. This one is based on "openness to experience" - the Democrats embrace being the party of multiculturalism and socially liberalism, the Republicans socially authoritarian, culturally American, and are less fiscally conservative.

Battleground map:

R-OH / R-TN vs D-CA / D-TX

[bagelman]

This one is a more abstract realignment.

Blue: Pro-environment and pro-conservationism, pro-geoengineering for Gaian and human benefit, pro-gun.

Red: Less conservationist, pro-geoengineering for human benefit, pro-urban, pro-technology, somewhat more cosmopolitan overall.

Politics in the farm states are based on division between large and efficient agribuiness (red) or more sustainable down to earth farming practices (blue).

2024-The Hawley era begins

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO)/Rep. Chris DiPiazza (R-NJ)-361 EV/53.2%
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA)/Gov. Jon Ossoff (D-GA)-177 EV/47.5%
Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, elected in 2021 after the retirement of Roy Blunt to become White House Chief of Staff for President Donald Drumpf, runs for president in 2024 after sterling conservative credentials and several legislative achievements including The Hawley Act (sweeping education reform).
Hawley wins the 2024 GOP nomination and picks rising Republican star Rep. Chris DiPiazza of New Jersey as his vice presidential running mate. Hawley/DiPiazza wins with 361 electoral votes, becoming one of the youngest presidential/vice-presidential pairs since Clinton and Gore in 1992. Hawley wins with 53% of the vote, compared with Democratic opponent Sen. Kamala Harris' 47% of the popular vote. Harris wins the 2024 Democratic nomination in a bitter ethnic battle, and the remnants of the nomination casts over to the general election. This is the Republicans' third consecutive electoral victory, first time since 1980/1984/1988 with Reagan-Bush.

My version:

I see Hawley pulling it out in NJ..with Congressman DiPiazza (NJ-05) as his VP, DiPiazza helps him with suburban moderates and Bergen County goes GOP for first time since 1992.

I actually went to middle school with Chris DiPiazza. It's strange enough having an old acquaintance on my town's council but to see him as a Vice Presidential nominee would be truly surreal. I have nothing against the guy but I doubt that I'd vote for his ticket, being the partisan Democrat that I am, I didn't even vote for him in the local elections. Still though, a Vice President DiPiazza would probably be the most famous person to have come out of Paramus since Stacey Dash.

1980, Anderson doesn't run and Carter receives all his votes.
Carter 207
Reagan 370
Some states become very close: Oregon (1765 votes), Illinois (0.6%), Alabama (981 votes), Pennsylvania (0.69%)

Carter receives all Anderson's votes and Reagan loses 1% to Carter
Carter 284
Reagan 293
Carter still needs to win 1.1% from Reagan to win in Missouri, and he's reelected

2024 election

Popular incumbent president [REDACTED] runs for re-election. however, VP Sanders does not want to be on the ticket, citing his declining health. [REDACTED] chose 2-term representative Richard Ojeda
(WV-03) as his VP, attempting to solidify his Rust Belt base, although this did anger some within the party, due to him Ojeda voting for Trump back in 2016. With [REDACTED] winning the EC in a landslide in 2020, he feels safe to move to the left on several issues.

Marco Rubio wins the R primary and selects Utah Senator and 2012 Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney as his running mate.

Rubio had essentially no chance, with [REDACTED] having high 50's to low 60's approval rating, etc.

[REDACTED]/Ojeda: 56.33%, ~480 EV
Rubio/Romney: 46.42%, ~60 EV

ND and NH are decided by only 3,000 votes. Utah surprisingly is one of the closest states.

My most timewasting, messy AF, and proudest khw creation yet: every county with the same name as another country was moved to whichever state had the county with the highest population, unless the county shared a name with a state. DC was moved to WA as part of this.

It doesn't jump out at you like the other ones, but that's part of it's charm.
