Dukakis definitely wins the election here. From the surface of it, it looks like Maryland, Missouri, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and California all flip to him, as well as the two Dakotas (possibly), Montana, Michigan, Vermont, Connecticut, Tennessee, and Kentucky. It also looks like he comes pretty close in Texas, Colorado, and a few other states. What would the electoral map look like?

No, this is a 10% swing. Taking 5% away from Bush and giving 5% to Dukakis. He very narrowly wins the electoral college here.10% swing = 10% up for Dukakis and 10% down for Bush, right? So that means that any state that Bush won by 20% or less goes to Dukakis.
That leaves (and easier to list those still for Bush than those that flip) Bush with: (in order of how much Bush won by) Utah, Idaho, Alaska, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, Wyoming, Florida, Arizona, Mississippi, Nebraska, Virginia, Georgia and Indiana (he won Indiana by 20.16 margin) for a total of 107 Electoral votes. Given that the state that Dukakis would have won by least (Alabama, which went to Bush by 19.3%) has 9 EV, this is as close as you can get to reversing the EV simply with a swing...
Ohio and Louisiana are decided by less than 1%, Texas is decided by roughly 2.5%. North Dakota narrowly goes R while South Dakota goes D fairly decisively. Tennessee goes R by about 5.5%, Montana goes D by about 4%, Vermont and Michigan go D and so does Connecticut. Kentucky goes R by less than 2%.Dukakis definitely wins the election here.

Possibly the best one yet. And ITTL Alaska actually looks decent to live in, compared to some of the other states.
Wow. Two green parties, three Menshevik parties, and FOUR communist parties... all you're missing is a Communist Party of Alaska that's in a perpetual feud with the Alaskan Communist Party...
I thought that was the point of the Communist Party (3rd Internationale) and the Communist Party (4th Internationale).
@MoralisticCommunist are you still accepting requests? If so then could I please request Mississippi
What state are you doing next?Yep, I was naturally a bit biased in making this state so socialist, but I want to make sure that there was at least one far left state in the US, and given the Russian heritage and oil money Alaska was the perfect state to make into a socialist "utopia." But to counteract that a bit, I made sure to show off the sectarian nature of the state's many parties, some of which are overly idealistic, and some of which only care about getting as many earmarks as possible.
Yeah, and there are implied to be countless smaller splinters of various parties who are way too small to ever hope of gaining a single seat. But I think having 25 total parties in Alaska at the very least gives you a good snapshot of what the state's politics are typically like.
Sure! I've already started work on another state but Mississippi is definitely a state I've been wanting to make for awhile now so I can do it afterwards.
Also, please show *some* appropriate change in the EV of the states between 2020 and 2040...
Yea the electoral college would definetly change a fair bit, likely less votes for the Midwest and more for the midlantic and south east. I simply created this map for fun out of boredom.
Or you could say that under Merkley they passed a Law freezing the electoral college because that would be a sensible thing and would totally be a logical and popular move
