It's possible that you could make a contribution if you don't election infoboxes.
They're showing up fine for me.
Noravea, what exactly causes the South to re-align back to the Democrats? (especially under a fairly lefty senator and a black president). I get that Ted Cruz wiped out much of the Republicans but still; The legacies LBJ's Civil Rights and Nixon and Reagan's southern strategies aren't just going to disappear overnight.
Also, I wonder if Murkowski and Kennedy pop up a lot in ITTL's AH...
Basically the reason is that Booker moves more to the center. Since Warren was pretty much representing the Democratic left-wing in 2020, he moved to the center to appeal to more moderate Democrats. Plus he knew that if he lost, Warren would want to pick a centrist to be her running mate, and that he would at most get a cabinet post. He wanted to be Vice President or President, so he moved to the center.
The South also saw a growing voter turnout for African-Americans, and a growing African immigrant population (Atlanta for example became a huge spot for immigration from West Africa). Basically a mix of demographic changes and Booker formally shifting in the political spectrum. 2028 was particularly impactful though because the Vice President, former Alabama Senator James Bowden, was popular with Southern whites and former Republicans.
Plus, the Republicans flinging themselves leftwards under Murkowski and later Caeus helped to hasten the transition.

I'd be happy to if there were some instructions on how to make them.
EDIT: never mind, I figured it out.
here's a quick little one.

After four terms in office (1929-1945), William Heidler chose to not run for a fifth term of office, and allowed his Vice President, Wendell Wilkie, to run. However, without the charismatic Heidler, who had decided to spend an exorbitant time in his ancestral homeland of Austria as a vacation with his wife, Wilkie was defeated in the polls by Franklin Roosevelt, former Assistant Naval Secretary, and Governor of New York.
((Roosevelt's health is significantly better than OTL, but Heidler knocked him off of his political rise, significantly stunting him, giving him the means to get into office in 1945.))
I at least had the good decency to strangle the Democrats and make some new parties in my wikibox series.

Yeah, I did. Hoover refused to stay on Heidler's ticket after his second term. So Wendell Wilkie said "oh, my turn!"
