*dixe plays quietly in the backround*In this timeline, Carter easily wins re-election in 1980, and the Democratic party basically returns to its roots as a primarily Southern Party, while the GOP does very well in the North and West. this is what the 2016 Presidential Election looks like in this world, on the county level. I've only finished the South thus far, but I thought I'd post it because it's quite interesting... I'll post the full map when I finish it.

National Union (Coal): 114
Future (Nuclear): 89
Democratic-Green (Renewable): 62

And this would be the state map in a close election:
Illinois, California, Ohio, and New York are the deciding states.
Who are the candidates?And this would be the state map in a close election:

In the 2016 scenario, the Democratic ticket is Jim Hood/Deborah Ross and the GOP ticket is Phil Scott/Rick Snyder. my map above is just for a generic close election in this universe though.
Reminds me of my old R north / D south map from this summer...In this timeline, Carter easily wins re-election in 1980, and the Democratic party basically returns to its roots as a primarily Southern Party, while the GOP does very well in the North and West. this is what the 2016 Presidential Election looks like in this world, on the county level.

It is somewhat similar, but the actual county map is pretty different.Reminds me of my old R north / D south map from this summer...

The 1980 Presidential Election
Progressive Senator John Anderson defeated President Jimmy Carter 39-35 last night, and by a 328-206 margin in the electoral college, the largest progressive win since Dwight Eisenhower's re-election in 1960, with the exception of 1964. Former Vice President Ronald Reagan managed only 24% of the vote, and managed to win only staunchly conservative Utah, the worst republican performance since Nixon's collapse in 1972.

Thanks for the suggestions, I make sure to keep them in mind. And as for a world map I haven't thought much about it beyond just the major world powers so I'm not planning on making anything beyond the USA before I finish the vast majority of states at least.

Houston is neither "North" nor "Atlantic" compared to NYC, London, de Randstad, or even Toronto.
John Anderson and Nelson Rockefeller would have been a truly great liberal force had then won their nomination fights.
It's pretty telling that I'd vote for a ticket comprised of a 94 year old man and an egg McMuffin over Clinton or Trump, in this scenario.
Here's the finished version of my "Carter wins re-election" 2016 county map. This represents a close election, and I plan on doing maps for GOP and Democratic landslides based on this idea as well.

How do African-Americans and Hispanics vote ITTL?Here's the finished version of my "Carter wins re-election" 2016 county map. This represents a close election, and I plan on doing maps for GOP and Democratic landslides based on this idea as well.
African-Americans are still heavily Democratic, but slightly less so than IOTL. They would normally vote something like 85-15 D in a close election. Hispanics outside of Texas and New Mexico are swing voters, but are heavily Democratic in those two states due to pretty much everyone being heavily Democratic in those states.
