Uniform Shift 1: '12-'16

Hillary Clinton/Elizabeth Warren: 272 EV, 49% pv
Donald Trump/Chris Christie: 266 EV, 47% pv

Uniform Shift 2: '08-'12

Obama/Biden: 285 EV, 50% pv
Romney/Ryan: 253 EV, 46% pv

Uniform Shift 3: '04-'08

Obama/Biden: 405 EV, 53% pv

Uniform Shift 4: 2000-2004

Bush/Cheney: 303 EV, 50% pv
Kerry/Dean: 235 EV, 48.5% pv

The country shifted roughly 10% D from 2004-'08, but Kerry lost Tennessee by 14% in 2004... How does Obama win it here?

Kerry/Dean: 235 EV, 48.5% pv

The country shifted roughly 10% D from 2004-'08, but Kerry lost Tennessee by 14% in 2004... How does Obama win it here?

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.

Harris vs. Sanders Primary

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

He explained in the bad post gallery that it's actually meant to signify that all states are bound to the NPV (which is D>40%).

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:

Neither Hillary or Trump won the popular vote

You have to get over 50% of the Popular Vote to Win it

2016 if we lived in a functioning Democracy:

Neither Hillary or Drumpf won the popular vote

You have to get over 50% of the Popular Vote to Win it

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.

2016 if we lived in a functioning Democracy:

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.

Three-term President Mike Gravel (G-AK) is deported by a Republican supermajority to Alaska, which has been sold to Russia. Beto O'Rourke (L-TX) and Roy Moore (O-AL) launch regional campaigns, while Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) launches a national one. She was favored to win against David Catania (R-DC) before she has a Michael Richards moment, causing her to win only her home state of Hawaii. One elector of Delaware abstains from the electoral count for reasons I haven't thought of yet.

This is a creative and hilarious scenario, but your not even close to what this map represents. This represents a scenario in which American politics becomes so Racially polarized (Republicans become the party for White people, while Democrats become the party for everyone else), that by the middle of the 21st century, the country is so weak and divided (this is caused by the slow decline of American power due to failed Conservative economic and foreign polices culminating in a economic collapse in the 2020s and a embarrassing military defeat in the 2030s), massive civil conflict breaks out that causes the United States to be split up into a Country for White people (shown in blue), a Country for Black people (shown in orange), a Country for Multiracial Hispanics (shown in yellow), a Country for Asians and Pacific Islanders (shown in red), and a Country for Native Americans (shown in green).

Filling in the gaps (1992 and 1998) of bagelman’s DNC/RNC maps:

1992

The DNC is held in New York while the RNC is held in Texas. Both states being safely in their respective parties’ columns, the resulting election is a clear but narrow victory for Clinton.

1988

Moderate whites win the election for Dukakis, teaming up with Black voters to capture even Georgia.

The candidate coming in first in the popular vote is winning the popular vote, whether it's a majority or popularity.

Pritzker's horrible, but since he's not a pedo I'm gonna have to say he'd still crush Moore.
