electoral college

So i've been thinking about this what if Brazil had an ecletoral college time line for a while and decided to post it here in AH.com BUT FIRST SOME WARNINGS 1) Brazil is (obviously) bigger than OTL, i did this so the TL dosen't just end in two posts or so and so the elections are more dinamics...

So, again, in my research of Electoral College reform, abolition and such, I came across a reform attempt which was earlier than the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, earlier than the Bayh-Celler Amendment in the 70s (which I made a thread on not too long ago), and earlier than a...

with a point of divergence after 1865, have the electoral college look like this map in the presidential election of 1896

So I thought of an alternate history scenario. Basically, it’s the election of 1976, and on election night President Ford narrowly carries Ohio and Hawaii is too close to call. After an excruciating recount, Ford is affirmed as the winner of Hawaii, giving him the bare minimum expected electoral...

I had this idea for a scenario regarding the electoral college. What if Kerry won the popular vote but still lost the electoral college to Bush to the same amount as he did in OTL? How would the country react? What would Congress do? Would there be some kind of a reform to abolish it and would...

So, the Constitution of the US states that each state will get one representative for every 30,000 people. Of course, later legislation set a cap for representation. So, I though it would be cool to reassign representatives based of off this. Reassigned, its a grand total of 11, 060, over...

The US famously really only has two parties that matter the most in politics, and that’s the Democrats and Republicans. But in the last 4 years or so, we’ve really seen diverging ideas within those political parties. Many of these ideologies would have their own parties if they weren’t part in...

With a POD of 1790 have more nations adopt an electoral college to elect their president or prime minister. Bonus points if it’s a nation outside of the Americas and a nation the US never owned.

Make all states split their electoral votes like Maine and Nebraska

Had Lincoln lost New York in 1860, the result would've been a hung electoral college and a contingent election in the House of Representatives. The three choices open to the House would be Lincoln, who won the most states and a plurality of electoral and popular votes, Vice-President...

If not for that last minute DUI scandal, George W. Bush might have won the popular vote in 2000 and carried enough electoral votes to become America's 43rd President. The POD is that the DUI story doesn't break until a week after the election, allowing Bush to narrowly win the presidency with...

After the confusion of 1800, the US amended it's constitution to ensure that Presidential electors vote for one Presidential ticket. Simultaneously, President Jefferson privately expressed support for abolishing the electoral college altogether. His argument was essentially the same as those...

What I'm looking for is plausible variations of Prince Electors arising during the Hohenstaufen-Welf(-Pope) conflicts. The Imperial Electors derive from those of the German Electors, those electing the King of the East Franks / Germans. These were the leaders (Dukes) of the "German Nations" -...

To make stuff easier, let's say that the 270 threshold is done away with, and that you can only win if you have a plurality of ECs

What it says on the tin. What other states could use the Nebraska and Maine method of allocating electoral votes, yet have Nebraska and Maine not go for it?

Altough I am not an American, as an outsider I consider that the best electoral system for electing the President, taking into account the state's power in the federal system as well as the will of as many voters as possible is an Electoral College formed by electors atributted by proportional...

Your challenge, whatever it takes, is to have the elctoral map look like these today: When Republicans win. When Democrats win.

Given the results of the 2016 election, it may appear as if the Republicans have an Electoral College advantage. However, in 2012 Obama could have lost the popular vote and still won the Electoral College, and the Democrats held an Electoral College advantage. This scenario already occurred in...
