Playing as Rubio/Christie in a four-way 2016 race. 



Note that the map doesn't include two electoral votes that apparently went to Trump.  I'm not sure how that happened...faithless electors, perhaps?

Anywho:

Clinton/Kaine: 121 EVs
Rubio/Christie: 379 EVs
Sanders/Gabbard: 31 EVs
Trump/Pence: 7 EVs

2016 as Clinton-Tester. The mod was way too easy, and the results were unrealistic. Just choosing Tester as my running mate somehow made MT a Clinton+4 state (even as NC and GA went red).

probably Trump wins NE-03 and ME-02 or something.

William McKinley/Garret Hobart - 232 EVs - 48.5% (6,748,836)
William Jennings Bryan/Arthur Seawall - 215 EVs - 50.6% (7,046,844)

Despite losing the election I managed to win the popular vote (don't recall this happening before as Bryan) and came within a few thousand votes of flipping West Virginia, Delaware, Ohio (McKinley won by only 30k) and a number of other Midwestern states.

I got the same result today, except I won Delaware

I've been trying to run up the score as Bush on normal and get over 500 electoral votes. It turns out that the key state is Massachusetts:



Vice President George Bush (R-TX)/Senator Bob Dole (R-KS): 502 electoral votes/50,547,546 votes (55.2%)

Governor Michael Dukakis (D-MA)/Senator Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX): 36 electoral votes/40,223,429 votes (43.9%)

1952 I got Eisenhower below 270 by picking Humphrey as my vp. the end screen had this link which I think is a George Wallace vp? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YHHnFY5aogEoXQj1IauTyrGvgApj6aStnly64t9AMMQ/edit

It's possible to win outright with Humphrey and Harriman at least.

For Humphrey, the strategy is winning California and Kentucky in addition to all the competitive Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic states. There is zero margin for error.

You have a little more margin for error with Harriman, as you will still win the South but have a harder time winning as many Northern states. Efforts should largely be concentrated on New York and the Mid-Atlantic.

Yeah, the subreddit got very hung up on George Wallace a while ago and they haven't fully recovered hence the high number of Wallace mods.

"My good friend Kanye was right folks, he was! He said that George Bush doesn’t care about black people, it’s true, he doesn’t care about you! He left you to die like dogs in New Orleans, which was once a great city, but has been filled with so many beautiful black bodies. But with me, I’ll be the best President for blacks since Lincoln."
