This is the 2024 map. What must have happened?

Republican ticket is a former governor from a Plains state as president nominee and a Utah politician as VP nominee. One of them embraces atheism. They run s rockies-plains oriented platform. They insult southerns on live TV in multiple occasions. Also, they campaing hard on Kansas.

FDR rose from the dead.

Also maybe Alf Landon did as well and was once again his opponent, explaining Kansas.

[Vice President Christian Man]

The Dems nominated the ghost of William Jennings Bryan while the GOP nominated either Mitt Romney or Dick Cheney.

Liz Cheney gets the Republican nomination and demands that the US invade Russia, China, and North Korea at the same time. She then calls the south a backwards place and chooses Bob Menendez as her running mate.

Bryan would win the Mountain West and Plains, probably by more than the South, in that case. He'd probably even win Utah, unless Romney is the nominee.

The map is still basically an updated 1936 IMO, going by the states won and margins. FDR loses the deepest R territory today (plains and Mormon states), including Kansas because Landon, but this time wins Maine and Vermont given their leftward swings since he passed. Also regains all his strength in the South.

Some kind of conventional World War III. Things are going well in the Latin American theater, Biden swapped out Kamala for former Admiral James Stavridis in a show of unity, and the RNC somehow nominated Liz Cheney without anyone's consent.

Green Party voters and their fantasies about war-mongering Democrats.

Name a more iconic duo.

It is a harmless, imaginative, and fun map.

43 carried states for a prevailing Democrat!

That would require a U.S. Popular Vote of +21 percentage points. The outcome would be something like…Democratic 59% vs. Republican 38%.

I do not agree with five of the seven states held by a losing Republican.

Keepers are North Dakota and South Dakota. The latter tends to vote +20 percentage points more Republican than Iowa. So, a Democratic winner on this level would not carry even one of the Dakotas.

I would take West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana as replacements for Wyoming, Idaho, Nebraska (I will even throw in its 3rd Congressional District), Kansas, and Oklahoma.

495 electoral votes.

Walter White had a wet dream

I was there; this happened.
