Alternate Electoral Maps II

Here I've used it to map out the 435 candidates who got the most votes in the 2016 House elections. If we elected, not the leader in each district, but anybody who got at least 144,450 votes, this is what we'd have (red = 1 Republican, blue = 1 Democrat, purple = 1 of each):

Weaker Reform Act #2: Isle of Wight

1833 IoW.png


Quite a quick county to produce; the Isle of Wight had quite a high amount of over representation prior to 1832 IOTL, with Newtown on the north-west coast considered second only to Old Sarum in terms of 'rottenness' on Drummond's List. ITTL the reluctance to disenfranchise boroughs results in the preservation of Yarmouth and bringing in the growing town of Cowes. The arrival of railways and a Solent tunnel later in this timeline will likely result in the either the dissolution of boroughs into a general county pool or the shifting of which towns are part of the district. The weaker Reform Act will leave the Vectis Boroughs likely still a 'pocket' appointment for the government whilst the county will be firmly in the Preservative Party camp. Actually the same number of MPs as OTL in this version but fitting the 'Districts' model.

Did consider having Newport keep its OTL status as an independent 2MP seat and grouping most of the rest of the Island's towns together but that would make he county electorate a tad small even by contemporary standards.

1992 Election
A poll done in June of 1992 showed the following:

H. Ross Perot: 39%
George H. W. Bush: 31%
Bill Clinton: 25%

The final results of the election were as follows (popular vote):

Bill Clinton: 43%
George H. W. Bush: 37.5%
H. Ross Perot: 18.9%

I decided to make a map using universal swing based on the poll. I added 20.5% to Perot's margin in every state and took away 18% and 6.5% from Clinton's and Bush's, respectively. I did this with the 1948 election, but I guess a more...popular third party candidate messes things up.

Here is the map:

The 1992 election essentially becomes an unrealistic Perot-wank. For example, Clinton loses a number of safe Democratic states.

In case anyone wants to know, here are the close states:

Kentucky: Bush +0.6
New Jersey: +2.0
Louisiana: Bush +2.2
Georgia: Bush +2.6
Maryland: Perot +2.9
Mississippi: Bush +3.3
Indiana: Perot +3.9
Nebraska: Perot +4.0
West Virginia: Clinton +4.0
Arkansas: Clinton +4.3
Virginia: Bush +4.4
Hawaii: Perot +4.7
Tennessee: Bush +5.3
New York: Perot +5.6
New Mexico: Perot +5.8
Florida: Perot +5.9
North Dakota: Perot +5.9
Illinois: Perot +6.5
Oklahoma: Perot +7.3
Wyoming: Perot +8.0
South Dakota: Perot +8.1
Iowa: Perot +8.4
Texas: Perot +8.4
Pennsylvania: Perot +9.1
South Carolina: Bush +9.4
Ohio: Perot +9.6
Alabama: Bush +9.8
Michigan: Perot +9.9

Just worked out the electoral numbers for the EC of Lagellania.

2016 numbers: 304 Freedom, 264 Progressive, 97 Patriotic, 16 Liberation.

Colored in map and the proper results coming soon. :)
 
And here's the map for the election. Wikibox is here.

2016
Juan Ferrier/Aleida Vander Plaats (Freedom): 304 EV, 84,378,411 votes (34.1%) - 2nd ballot: 388 EV
Thomas Suzuki/Lance Mulberry (Progressive): 264 EV, 77,872,541 votes (31.5%) - 2nd ballot: 272 EV
Ben Clements/Frank Hayashi (Patriotic): 97 EV, 51,675,901 votes (20.9%) - 2nd ballot: 13 EV
Catherine Yukimura/Simon Moon Eagle (Liberation): 16 EV, 29,041,411 votes (11.7%) - 2nd ballot: 3 EV
 
And of course, here's a "broad analogues" electoral map in which the election is transferred to the OTL USA. :p

is this a tl? coz id like to give it a look
 
My idea of what the 2016 election would look if Trump failed to get the nomination and ran as a third party candidate, like how he threatened to do in late 2015.

Hillary Clinton/Tim Kain (Democratic): 386 EV, 49.6%
Ted Cruz/Joni Ernst (Republican): 146 EV, 30.2%
Donald Trump/Buddy Roemer (American Freedom): 6 EV, 13.9%
Gary Johnson/William Weld (Libertarian): 0 EV, 4.2%

With Trump as a third party nominee, I think that he could have won in South Carolina and have a shot in Pennsylvania and some other states. Also, if Trump ran as an independent, it is entirely possible that the Republican Party doesn't get such a huge populist surge, preventing Cruz from getting the nomination

Flip Mississippi to Hillary. African-American vote is too high for GOP-Mississippi to survive a split.

My reasoning for Trump's fairly bad performance is the Access Hollywood tapes doing more damage to him than in OTL for whatever reason, as well as him having less resources and money as an independent. You are correct with Cruz, but without him trying to catch up with Trump during the nomination process he might be less populist and more of a standard conservative.

Not sure that's possible, he won PA by less than 1% and he'd mainly be taking votes from the GOP, the state is safely blue in this particular scenario.
 
Trump's best region was the South, and he only gets less than 18% here despite getting 13% nationwide?
Fair enough. This scenario was just a product of idle speculation, I think that Cruz might have won it if he concentrated in the South, but I don't know, whoever wins Mississippi would win it by less than 5% in any case.
