Presumably, since the EV count is even closer in this scenario, the Chicago Tribune prints its famous headline as IRL.
IRL one southern state Dem elector voted for Thurmond. Would more do so in this scenario?
1948 would have been the last election in which IN votes Dem while any of CA, IL, or MI (or all three) vote GOP. Any other "lasts"?
Is the Chicago/IL Dem party establishment weaker going forward, since keeping Wallace off the ballot failed to produce the desired "result" in that state?
