I'm saying is, it would take, say, a horribly deadlocked Electoral College to get the electoral college destroyed.

Yeah. I wanted to do California because it's McCloskey's second best state (after Alaska) and to show that it accounts for over a quarter of his national popular vote.

How does a state that depends on petroleum and is very, very Republican become a mecca for the Green Party?

So Alaskans are less "closet socialists" and more "lets do anything to stick it to the establishment?"
It's a combination of Alaska's small population and a really strong independent streak. A majority of Alaskans are unaffiliated with any party. Plus while the state does rely on oil for its economy, there is also a pretty strong environmentalist streak in many parts of the state given its unique geography within the US. That and the high Native population, if a left party can make inroads with them, make it a surprisingly strong state for the Greens.
Remember, Nader did get over 3 percent in Alaska... in 1996. When he ran again in 2000 he got over 10%. Also just found a neat article from 2000 about how both Nader and Buchanan were targeting Alaska as a good state to aim for a second place finish.

Despite being Republicans, they have a basic income of sorts that allows them to profit from oil.
This next wikibox is one I definitely wanted to do and try to make a county map for since Rosberg wins Hayes County.

Why let some politician get the money when the resource wealth is the general public's?

What political party is Jerry Brown TTL? I think it was mentioned earlier that he was an independent while mayor of Oakland and that Matt Gonzalez tried to win him over.
What's the status of Lincoln Chafee's political odyssey? He might make for a good Green TTL. OTL he supported Obama because Obama was the anti-war candidate. I'm not sure he'd go the Democratic route TTL if it's Hillary Clinton's party...
Robert Mondragon might be somebody worth using TTL.

I'm thinking Carol Miller is more likely to make some sort of comeback than Mondragon, but I'm also definitely thinking about how I can use Mondragon.
It's US Election Atlas colors. They started before the party map colors had been settled on after 2000, and use red for the Democrats and blue for the Republicans.
