And yet Colorado goes for the GOP...Here's what 1976 would have looked like if Carter did 10% better, taking 5% away from Ford and giving 5% to Carter. this is interesting because it looks reminiscent of an election from the 30's or 40's.
Well third parties have easily broken 5% in Arizona in the past.
This is from a scenario where Washington dies in the Philadelphia Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793 and John Adams becomes president in 1793, he fairs even worse then he did in OTL, andthis leads to him loosing the Federalist Nomination to Alexander Hamilton, who looses in a close election to Thomas Jefferson with a disgruntled Adams running as an independent.
Thomas Jefferson does well but rattles sabres at Britain and attempts to form a much closer relationship with France and brinks America close to war with Britain in 1799. Hamilton, meanwhile, was serving as Vice President in the most toxic executive relationship in US history. Using his position to attack Jefferson on most issues. However this backfired somewhat and lead some to think he was unstable or would not be a good executive, leading him to loose the 1800 Federalist nomination to John Jay. Also during Jefferson’s presidency one of the few things that he and Hamilton agreed upon was electoral reform. They got legislation that had The President and Vice President elected to the same ticket. Also electors have to vote on the state rules and would face charges otherwise. This came after 7 states had electors vote contrary to the popular/legislature vote. In the election of 1800 Jay, with his VP of Thomas Pinckney, was able to win over Thomas Jefferson and Henry Dearborn.

He was. Everyone in America was grandfathered in, no matter where they were born.
I thought you had to be a natural-born citizen to run for President.
“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President”
Any citizens when the constitution was ratified were elligible, meaning Hamilton.
Like hell the freaking Green Party won 7% in the 2016 senate race
Well, no Democrat was in the race, so it makes sense. I think another one of their candidates got 20% of the vote or something in another race where the DNC couldn't be bothered to run someone.
Should I let that one slide or tell you about Ann Kirkpatrick?
And here's 1980 with a 10% swing to Carter. despite narrowly winning re-election, he does worse in most states than he did in OTL '76.
Jimmy Carter/Walter Mondale (D) 46.01% 297 EV
Ronald Reagan/George H.W Bush (R) 45.75% 241 EV
John B. Anderson/Patrick Lucey (I) 6.61% O EV
Jimmy Carter/Walter Mondale (D) 46.01% 297 EV
Ronald Reagan/George H.W Bush (R) 45.75% 241 EV
John B. Anderson/Patrick Lucey (I) 6.61% O EV
True, true. I was just supporting the claim that third parties in Arizona tend to do fairly well, compared to nationally.

Of course, once 1984 rolls around, Democrats are royally screwed.
George H.W Bush/Howard Baker (R) 63.4% 493 EV
Ernest Hollings/Jesse Jackson (D) 35.2% 45 EV

Maaaayybbee 2008? Obama vs Clinton for the Dems, Romney vs Huckabee for the Reps. In the general, a large amount of Huckabee supporters stay home, allowing Obama to score a larger landslide than OTL. Although I do see a few issues with this theory
