Fusion states are not states combined together, they are states averaged together. As such if a strongly partisan state is fused with a swing state like mine, the result is that election result mirror the partisan state.

For example, the fusion of Alaska and Ohio only voted Dem once for the Lyndon Landslide.

1960: 52-48 R
64: 64-36 D
68: 45-43 R
72: 59-36 R
76: 53-42 R
80: 53-34 R

84: 63-35 R
88: 57-40 R
92: 39-35 R
96: 46-40 R
00: 54-37 R
04: 56-42 R
08: 53-45 R
12: 51-46 R
16: 51-40 R
20: 53-44 R


This state would be located in the mountains but also have some riverside industrial population centers.

Alaska and Hawaii is a tempting fusion pair. It creates a temperate island state in the Pacific (I'd love to live there!), and gives the following electoral results:

1960: 50-50 R
64: 72-28 D
68: 51-42 D
72: 60-36 R
76: 53-43 R
80: 49-36 R
84: 61-37 R
88: 52-45 R
92: 39-38 D
96: 45-41 D
00: 48-42 R
04: 53-45 R
08: 55-43 D
12: 56-41 D

16: 49-41 D
20: 53-44 D

There are 1225 fusion pairs for US states, per the equation ½(X²) − ½X where X=50. There are 1275 if DC is included.

I did Texas and Pennsylvania a while back, although that was combining Texylvania, rather than averaging them. Not too interesting, single-digit R wins since 2008, double digits in 2000 and 2004, last Dem victory in 1996 (okay, that surprised me a little. I was expecting 1992).

Here's my attempt at making the fusion state of Texylvania:

1872: 51-47 R
76: 59-40 D
80: 56-37 D
84: 56-41 D
88: 55-39 D
92: 51-35 D
96: 52-46 D

1900: 50-46 D
04: 49-45 D

08: 55-41 D
12: 53-23-16 D (P>R)
16: 59-36 D

20: 45-43 R
24: 46-43 D
28: 59-41 R
32: 67-31 D
36: 72-27 D
40: 67-33 D
44: 61-33 D

48: 56-38 D
52: 53-47 R
56: 56-44 R

60: 51-49 D
64: 64-36 D
68: 44-42 D
72: 63-36 R
76: 51-48 D
80: 52-42 R
84: 58-41 R
88: 53-46 R

92: 41-38 D
96: 47-44 D

2000: 53-44 R
04: 55-45 R

08: 50-49 R
12: 52-47 R
16: 50-45 R
20: 50-48 R


1900 and 2008 are both rounded up 49.5%+ for the winning party. This state voted for the winner from 1928-1964 and again from 1972-2004.

Thank you.  That's awesome!

Think you can do Kentuckiana and Michiana?  To ease your burden a bit, you can start with the first post-war election.  You don't have to go all the way back to the 1800s.

Verivare - The Green River state. VT+MS.

This is the best one. If you take nothing else from this thread, take this state!

1872: 70.9% R, 28.6% D
76: 50.1% R, 49.7% D
80: 49.8% R, 46.4% D
84: 51.1% R, 46.8% D

88: 49.7% D, 47.5% R
92: 52.7% D, 35.4% R
96: 53.8% D, 43.5% R
1900: 55.2% D, 42.7% R
04: 55% D, 42% R

20: 53.6% D, 44.9% R
24: 52.5% D, 42.9% R

Stark comparison to what one may expect.
32: 68.5% D, 30.6% R
36: 70.1% D, 29.6% R
40: 70.3% D, 29.5% R
The state gives a middle finger to those opposing a third term
44: 68.25% D, 31.75% R

48: 43.6% Southern D, 32.1% R, 23.5% Northern D. This issue of civil rights begins to loom large.
52: 55.5% R, 44.3% D
56: 48.3% R, 43% D
60: 41.7% R, 38.9% D

64: 60.4% R, 39.6% D
68: 33.31% AIP, 33.28% D, 33.1% R. Wow.
72: 70.4% R, 28.1% D
76: 51% R, 46.4% D
80: 46.9% R, 43.3% D
84: 59.9% R, 39.1% D

A fearsomely elastic state, this is a pacific archipelago inhabited by Polynesians before being settled by exiles from the United States. These exiles imposed an oppressive theocracy on the natives before the US navy intervened, partially to get the jump on the British.

How about Marylansas (Maryland x Kansas)? New Mexicohio? Tongue

Marylansas:
2020: 58-40
2016: 53-41
2012: 55-43
2008: 55-43
2004: 50-49 (rounded from 49.5-49.3, a real nail biter)
2000: 50-46
1996: 47-44
1992: 44-37-19
1988: 53-46
1984: 58-42
1980: 49-42-7
1976: 50-49
1972: 65-34
1968: 47-40-13
1964: 61-39
1960: 53-47

Bellwether from 1964-1996, and perpetually close except for landslides. Obama wins with a 12-pt margin in 2008, and by holding that margin in 2012 solidified its safe state status.

It's actually pretty similar to Michigan, voted the same way from 1980 to 2012. But while Michigan moved to the right post-Obama, marylansas did the opposite

In other words, this fusion is literally just Ohio. It voted the same way as Ohio since 1960, and with either the same or very close margins. NM is just too small and not partisan enough to make a real difference. The most notable election is 1976, when New Mexico's Republican lean meant the state came down to less than 1000 votes. But even if Ford had carried New Mexicohio, Carter would still have enough electoral votes to win.

Fusion states are not states combined together, they are states averaged together.

New Erie (NM + OH)

Negative margins are DEM, positive ones GOP.

This state is just Ohio if you simply combine OTL states, but becomes something different if you "fuse" them. It's like mixing paint, if you have a small dollop of white paint and a whole can of red paint, you make pink by just taking a little red from the can.
