I'm also surprised by Oklahoma, but he was on the ballot everywhere except Washington, DC. You might be thinking of Thurmond, who was only on the ballot in Southern states and I think North Dakota.

Working on 1980 right now, but keep in mind that this isn't really all that realistic/plausible, so some things won't make too much sense. Just a warning.

Limited appeal outside the South, regional Republicanism, and the Democrats splitting the economic populist vote.

And exactly the same except for winning Ohio when I played as trump

Brought trump down to McCain 2008 levels in the popular vote, but still couldn't win anything that Obama didn't in 2012.

You made Utah barely more Republican than Massachusetts?

Thanks. filler

I can't tell who that is as Superman next to the picture of (I think) Adam West.

I just read through the entire TL. It's very interesting, and you guys actually created a semi-plausible way for a major third party to exist in modern America without a POD too far back. I also completed the survey, so my answers: 1964: Barry Goldwater (R-AZ)/William E. Miller (R-NY) 1968...

Hmm...maybe that was in the back of my head when I did this. Anyways, close states. 1968: Florida - 0.25% (AIP) New York - 0.27% (DEM) Connecticut - 0.55% (DEM) Michigan - 1.20% (GOP) Pennsylvania - 1.94% (DEM) West Virginia - 3.17% (GOP) Maryland - 3.34% (DEM) Texas - 3.36% (DEM) Washington...

To be honest, it's not supposed to be that realistic. It's more of a thought exercise about what if the Democratic Party collapsed in the 1960s.

1968: Republican: Richard Nixon (California)/Spiro T. Agnew (Maryland) - 43.01%, 394 EVs American: George Wallace (Alabama)/Curtis LeMay (California) - 18.91%, 77 EVs Democratic: Hubert H. Humphrey (Minnesota)/Edmund Muskie (Maine) - 37.45%, 67 EVs 1972: Republican: Richard Nixon...

Deadlocked as Lincoln

I always just consider Metropolis as New York City itself (Metropolis Island=Manhattan Island like in the NES game, Big Apricot=Big Apple, etc.). I haven't pegged Gotham down yet. I'm torn between Chicago, Detroit, and Jersey City. Maybe "New York City" in the DCU is equivalent to Yonkers or...

Originally, Metropolis seemed to be some strange Toronto/Cleveland/New York City hybrid.

I'm not actually sure where the "Metropolis in Delaware" thing comes from. Everything I've seen places it in New York State, if not being New York City itself. The Golden Age comics and Donner/Reeve movies explicitly have "Metropolis, NY", with the latter even having the Statue of Liberty.

Nope. Wallace was surprisingly weak in West Virginia.
