Ah, I figgered as much.
This is a good question, about which I too am curious.
How do you make a map for something like a presidential primary or election for use in an infobox?
On an unrelated note I haven't seen you in like a year. And on a related note you probably use like Map maker or something like that.
Yeah, I left for a while.
Wikipedia maps have this very standardized look and feel to them, so I figured there'd be an offical method?
Is America the last relevant democracy in this world? Or is Romney the Supreme God-Emperor of a Fascist America?
Well, it hasn't messed with it's flag, which I'm assuming is a sign it's the former.
ATL is that McVeigh and Nichols decide to pick the TCBY Tower in Little Rock (It states on Wikipedia that they were originally going to bomb a 40-story building in Little Rock, but didn't due to a florist's shop on the ground floor.) instead of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City.
The blast kills 266, and wounds 662, and the building is demolished shortly after.
They didn’t bomb a building because of a florist shop, but did bomb a building with a daycare in it?
Crossposting from my timeline.
Incumbent moderate Republican Senator Nancy Kassebaum of Kansas declined to run for reelection, citing her advanced age. The state Republican Party narrowly chose to nominate archconservative Lieutenant Governor Gary Sherrer, who, since the start of the Robertson administration had becoming increasingly abrasive and openly hostile towards the state’s small gay community. In opposition, Former Governor Mike Hayden, a moderate within the party opted to run an independent campaign that received the endorsement of soon-to-be former Senator Kassebaum. The Kansas branch of Rally for the Farmers, despite attempts by organizers, had never taken off as had happened in other states, so the presence of a Rally candidate, State Senator Docking and Former State Treasurer Thompson as a Democrat created a situation in which the left-wing vote was irreparable split. Despite a four-way race on paper, the real battle was between Sherrer and Hayden. Despite Hayden’s superior name recognition and initially high polling numbers, donors pumped millions into the Sherrer campaign and, in the end, the Lieutenant Governor was was triumphant as he managed to hold the evangelical, conservative base against Mike Hayden.
Mark Hatfield, one of the most senior Senate Republicans, and head of the anti-Robertson wing of the party in Congress was indeed old, but was undecided on running for reelection as he hoped he might be able to continue to stop Robertson’s agenda if he remained in office. However, Robertsonite elements within the state GOP planned a campaign for Joe Lutz, a firebrand evangelical preacher, who had previously challenged former Senator Packwood. As polls showed Lutz as increasingly popular, Hatfield made the decision to not seek reelection, throwing a wrench into the campaign season. Fearing the outspoken, gaffe-prone Lutz would jeopardize the seat, the Republicans then recruited Representative Denny Smith to run against Lutz. While sufficiently conservative, Smith was much more polished and not as prone to making statements about praying for a tsunami to smash Portland, which in Lutz’s eyes was comparable to Gomorrah. Smith beat Lutz and faced Democrat Jerry Rust and Rallyite Michael Donnelly in the general election, who he beat handily.
Lincoln Chafee sat as the last liberal Republican in New England after William Cohen defected to the Democrats. Because of this northeastern Republicans considered him Public Enemy No. 1. This was further inflamed by the fact that after losing his seat in 1988, Chafee had come back to capture Rhode Island’s other Senate seat in 1990. Several conservative activists entered the race (as well as Log Cabin Republicans of Rhode Island Chairman William Henry), but all failed to gain traction. Meanwhile, an independent conservative campaign was being organized by out of state interests, particularly White House Chief of Staff Gordon Humphrey. They had attempted to recruit various figures within the State National Guard, but this failed, leading to their picking of Former Warwick Mayor J. Michael Levesque, who had acquired a reputation as a staunch supporter of the President and enemy of Islam. Though Levesque had little support, it was still enough to take the wind from the Chafee campaign’s sails. It was little surprise to anyone when Francis Flaherty, the Democratic candidate won the seat and became the Senate Democrats only freshman in 1997.
In Delaware, incumbent Republican Dale Wolf has long been expected to run for a second term. The state Democratic Party had been in disarray since the 1994 defection of at-large Representative Tom Carper to the Rally for the Farmers. Wolf and Republican strategists expected an easy victory over a divided opposition. Rally for the Farmers nominated Jacob Kreshtool, an aging labor lawyer with long ties to the state Democratic Committee. In response, the Democrats chose not to nominate a candidate and instead endorse Kreshtool. Several minor candidates managed to get ballot access as independents, most of them angered at the Democrats choice to stay out of the race. Though Kreshtool appealed strongly to rural residents who were wary of Wolf’s prior work with the DuPont corporation and support of chemicals recently discovered to be harmful, the incumbent governor pulled off a victory in the end. Kreshtool managed nearly 46% of the vote to Wolf’s 51%, while the minor independents they had field in rescuing the Democrats decision had, combined, only received 2%.
Governor Mike Lowry, a liberal Democrat elected to his first term in 1992, was accused of sexual harassment of an aide and resigned in late 1995. This left his ailing Lieutenant, Joel Pritchard, as Governor. Pritchard declined to run for reelection in 1996, fearing he might not live through his term. The victor in the Democratic primaries, Gary Locke, was something of a moderate, and faced a spirited challenge from Supreme Court Justice Phil Talmadge, who, though initially elected with the help of the Democrats, ran as a member of Rally for the Farmers. The Republican, Rod Chandler, a former Representative, was something of a non-factor as, despite his somewhat liberal stances, was irrevocably tied to President Robertson in a state that gave the administration only a 24% approval rating. Senator Unsoeld endorsed Locke, while progressive Presidential contender Al Swift constantly avoided taking sides in a gesture that helped the Rally for the Farmers. After a hard-fought race, Talmadge was elected on Mondale’s coattails. Talmadge’s hammering of the state Democratic Party for not vetting former Governor Lowry enough to figure out that he might have abused his aide is considered one of the primary reasons for his victory and the decline of the Washington Democratic Party.
In 1991, no one would have believed John Raese could be the next Governor of West Virginia. While Raese was formerly Chair of the West Virginia Republican Party and considered to have a serious chance of knocking off Jay Rockefeller in 1984, Raese’s inexplicable primary run against incumbent Arch Moore in 1988 created an image of Raese as a bizarre, would-be perennial candidate. As expected, Raese entered the 1992 race for the Governor's Mansion. However, unlike in 1988, Raese managed to get significant traction, crisscrossing the state, Raese managed to create a winning coalition of miners opposed to Hart-era environmental and free trade policies and take the Republican nomination over better known candidates Former Governor Cecil Underwood and Agriculture Commissioner Cleve Benedict. Raese was able to beat incumbent Democrat Caperton rather easily on the tails of Pat Robertson, who swept the traditionally Democratic state. Raese proved an eccentric governor. He often wore turtlenecks, drawing national attention to the state. Raese’s views were a hodgepodge from across the ideological spectrum: he advocated the abolition of the Federal Minimum Wage, arguing that states were better suited to decide it, and his administration attempted to raise the minimum wage with inflation each year. However, Raese also was a strong opponent of abortion and free trade and was one of the staunchest supporters of the passage of the 28th Amendment (despite West Virginia being the last state to ratify it, though Raese firmly blamed the legislature for that) Under Raese, the Democrats and Republicans had remained the primary parties in the Mountain State. The local branch of Rally for the Farmers had managed to siphon off the environmental wing of the West Virginia Democrats, but apart from minor attempts to appeal to Union activists by tying Senators Byrd and Rockefeller to Hart’s support of free trade, they had remained firmly in third place. The Governor was faced by Former State Attorney General Manchin of the Democrats and current State Senator Charlotte Pritt of the Rally. Though Manchin ran a spirited campaign, the outcome was never in doubt as West Virginia stood firmly behind the President. Manchin was framed as a flip-flopper and Pritt as a liberal, coal-hating hippie and besides, she probably practiced Transcendental Meditation. Raese won in a landslide, garnering nearly 56% of the vote.

How dare you not put down his alma mater as McGill University!
McVeigh claims he didn't know of the daycare facility until after the fact
Not the most original idea I know, but I thought it was pretty interesting.
Hey I'm Erin. I've been making alternate history garbage for a couple years but I've mostly been on reddit and deviantart until now. Here's my new thing if anyone cares to check it out:
