Alternate Electoral Maps II

Guess what this county map shows.

Republicans win non-hispanic whites 100%, Democrats win non-whites 100%. Or on other words the Red counties are those with a majority of non-hispanic whites.

Republicans win non-hispanic whites 100%, Democrats win non-whites 100%. Or on other words the Red counties are those with a majority of non-hispanic whites.

That doesn't explain Vermont, though...

1788-1790

Totals:

Pro-Administration: 64
Anti-Administration: 43

PRO-ADMINISTRATION MAJORITY BY 10

PRO-ADMINISTRATION MAJORITY BY 10

Modern districts in 1789? Wut?

Modern districts in 1789? Wut?

That's the entire premise. Also, it's like the House of Commons.

 

[Tex Arkana]

Republicans win non-hispanic whites 100%, Democrats win non-whites 100%. Or on other words the Red counties are those with a majority of non-hispanic whites.

No, for that scenario, this would be the county map:

Here's the national map, if it helps.

>democrats are red
>Vermont is Democratic by 50% of the popular vote

That is some pure, undiluted heresy. And I like that.

WV?

Here's the national map, if it helps.

20 pt swing to democrats in the south, 20 pts to republicans in the north?

 

[Tex Arkana]

20 pt swing to democrats in the south, 20 pts to republicans in the north?

Very close. It's a 30% swing to Obama in the South and a 30% swing to Romney everywhere else.

I wonder, is this also based upon the counties and states where Rutherford wins, and the different regions he carries? An explanation would be nice.

No, it’s based on the fact William Rutherford maps were the next trope after Baker v Manchin maps. I think the joke went over your head.

I see. But, jokes aside, I think it is also an accurate description of the maps which I have posted. The fact that Rutherford does so exceptionally well in the Northeast, and also manages to appeal to white working-class and rural voters in the Midwest and Appalachia at the same time. What kind of political views would Rutherford have to hold to be able to accomplish both at the same time?

 

[Oppo]

What’s the origin of Rutherford?

 

[naraht]

That doesn't explain Vermont, though...

Maybe people of French-Canadian ancestry aren't considered white????

 

[Calthrina950]

What’s the origin of Rutherford?

In my scenario, I basically have it that Rutherford is a former governor and senator from Minnesota, probably of the centrist or populist type.

 

[The British Empire]

WV?

Modern borders. So, West Virginia won't come into play until the 1860s.

Brown must have Carter as his running mate in this scenario.

Basically, this started out as a project evaluating how much Trump's approval has shifted within the country to a 2020 prediction (still based upon approval numbers and a few other things).

This will be fun to revisit in 3 years to see how utterly wrong I will be:

Do you have state margins for this?
