Could we get a county map for the second one?

The 1980 Presidential election except Ford won in 1976 and is as unpopular (if not more) than Carter was IOTL 1980, Reagan wins the GOP nomination, and Carter is a 2-term governor with more experience who runs a much better campaign than he did in '76 irl because here he's a more experienced...

45 state landslide. the Deep South goes R very narrowly

So let’s say it happened in 1952 then. what’s the popular vote and state map look like and who’s the Democratic candidate?

How much earlier

What do you think the state map and national PV margin are if this county map had happened sometime between 1972 and 1988?

Would depend on how well they’re able to distance themselves from Wallace. but yes, I imagine it would be a very bad night for Democrats in every respect with George Wallace at the top of the ticket lol

The finalized county map for the Rockefeller vs. Wallace scenario. thoughts? comments? questions?

2008 with the same PV margin as 1936 (AKA what probably would have happened after two terms of Dubya in a world without partisan polarization) Barack H. Obama (D-IL)/Joseph R. Biden (D-DE) 61.36% popular vote, 491 electoral votes John S. McCain (R-AZ)/Sarah L. Palin (R-AK) 37.1% popular...

Update #3

Update #1 on the alternate 1968 county map I'm working on: Yet again, Rockefeller is dominant everywhere outside the Deep South. does Wallace end up winning any states other than MS and AL?

No, but another Virginian is at the top of the ticket. Yes, he's the running mate. why do you think the Republican candidate did so poorly overall though?
