How a good Romney win will look like in a normal election

[BigVic]

Narrow Bill Clinton win on Normal in 1996 with Ross Perot breaking 10% of the PV

[BigVic]

Lost as Romney, can't escape 306-232!



President Barack Obama (D-IL) / Vice President Joe Biden (D-DE): 306 electoral votes / 64,190,284 votes (49.8%)
Fmr. Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) / Fmr. Governor Tim Pawlenty (R-MN): 232 electoral votes / 63,359,287 votes (49.2%)

2012 was one of those elections which PA could vote to the right of OH and the GOP candidate winning an election without the need of OH.

Joe narrowly defeats Trump in the 2016 mod.

Nice looking map.

[BigVic]

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

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

A Republican landslide due to vote splitting

[BigVic]

Dread it, run from it...

Played the new W. mod twice and after getting pretty handily beaten by Hillary on my first try, ended up with this semi-cursed map on my second against Punished "Venom" Al Gore in a rematch after invading Iraq. Also the colours switched back to Atlas standard which was fun. Some of the wonkier margins are thanks to a Ted Turner third party candidacy (lol) but at least I got Dubya to actually win a plurality of the popular vote this time around. Hard to tell if the ending screen saying the mission actually was accomplished was an unreliable narrator or not.



Bush/Cheney - 306 EVs - 58,825,954 - 48.0%
Gore/Biden 232 EVs - 58,665,612 - 47.9%

The famous 306-23#!
