An electoral map that has Democratic and Republican states contiguous and results in a 269-269 tie.

Washington DC breaks contiguity.

Also I am not sure I would call touching at one single point "contiguous" but that is another matter.

They did say "states" so technically DC doesn't count

This is actually a fair take. You're right.

I am shocked that rate of support for abortion rights is identical in Oklahoma and Minnesota.

I'm not shocked that Minnesota's support is low. It's "a blue state" because it's economically progressive, not because it's "woke."

Oregon and Nebraska are very shocking, though.

Wokelahoma confirmed.

The abortion support map is very similar to a map of religiosity by state. The following map shows the results of a 2009 Gallup poll on religiosity. Darker shades indicate higher rates of weekly church attendance. With a few exceptions, less religious states have higher rates of support for abortion and more religious states have higher rates of opposition to abortion. This explains why the Northeast and Pacific Northwest have the most support and the Deep South and Utah have the least support. The Midwest and states with large Hispanic populations like California and New Mexico have intermediate support because they have large numbers of pro-abortion secular people and anti-abortion religious people (bolstered by Hispanic Catholics in the latter case). I still don't know what's the matter with Oklahoma and Nebraska though.

Here's a map which I created last week, showing the 2012 election results by county, for the Senatorial races in the Ferguson Scenario:

What would be the results by state here? Who would you guess would be the Senatorial incumbents or candidates here? Any instances of ticket-splitting between the Senatorial and Presidential races by state? For reference, this is the presidential election results map for that year:

Close, but for one state.

The wrong state is New York?

Otherwise PA or MA.

It's actually NE.

It's actually NE.

Crazy! Seeing Douglas, Lancaster and a bunch of others all in red fools easily.

It's actually NE.

Crazy! Seeing Douglas, Lancaster and a bunch of others all in red fools easily.

It would definitely be close, within 3%. But which states split their ticket between President and Senate?

Ehm we already know that as you posted the presidential map and now we have (or better Weatherboy has) guessed the Senate map.
So they are Hawaii, Indiana, Mississippi, Florida, Virginia, Maryland and New York (counting the two New England independents as Democratic-caucusing, as they are in real life).

It was a question I had asked in my initial post, so I was following up on it. And you are correct when you say that the two independents caucus with the Democratic Party, as they do in RL.

2012: A Nightmare

Obama/Biden: 268 (64,319,040) -- 49.76%

 

Other:   0 ( 2,975,495) --  2.31%

2016: A Backlash

✓ Clinton/Brown: 333 (71,401,455) -- 51.13%

 

Trump/Huntsman: 205 (64,777,202) -- 46.38%

A variant of NHI's maps:

please ignore the names on top, these are lazy 270towin maps

2016: We All Know What Happened



   Clinton/Kaine 232 (48.2%)
✓ Trump/Pence 306 (46.1%)


2020: The Bidenslide



✓ Biden/Harris 413 (53.4%)
   Trump/Pence 125 (44.6%)


2024: They Just Can't Let Go



✓ Biden/Harris 467 (50.1%)
   Pence/DeSantis 65 (34.6%)
   Trump/Boebert 6 (12.4%)

The Republican primary in 2024 goes similarly to the Democratic primary in 2020 - in a large field, candidates take turns surging and then collapsing until the party eventually settles for Pence. Trump refuses to end his run even after the Republican party begs him to, and claims the party has abandoned him/"the real America"/etc. Pence chooses hardcore Trumpist DeSantis, one of the many who flopped in the primary, as his running mate in an attempt to weaken Trump's run. It gains him a few points in the polls, but not enough to change anything significantly.
