I just ran as John McCain in the 2008 election and here are the results of this close race :
John McCain/Mitt Romney : 314 electoral votes, 66 918 234 votes and 50.1 % of the vote
Barack Obama/Kathleen Sebelius : 224 electoral votes, 66 749 154 and 49.9 % of the vote[/center]
Super messed up. I've been having the same troubles with this game. Someone needs to make a new one!
The moreover that I won the exact same 3 states that handed victory to Trump in 2016 (Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania) because had Obama flipped these three states, he would have narrowly won the election 272-266, which would have almost been the same electoral vote count that Bush won over Gore in 2000 (271-267).
