Alternate Electoral Maps II

It really isn't a coherent scenario, tbh. Also I'm thinking my state map is slightly off - Texas almost definitely goes D here since the Democrat is winning a large number of rural counties + Dallas, Harris, Bexar, Travis, and Fort Bend.
I see. Also, since people have talked about your Atlas signature, why do you have it? It does seem somewhat strange....
 
What's his atlas signature? Curious now.

I thought it was Tex IRL at first in all honesty

Getting back on topic, here's an idea I had:
Nixon wins in 1960 and passes the CRA and VRA, causing blacks to return to the GOP, and in 1964 he faces George Wallace. Nixon wins a landslide similar to LBJ's landslide IOTL. Nixon also wins over 80% of the black vote - although very few Southern blacks actually turnout to vote. Despite walloping Wallace in the popular vote, Nixon only wins 395 EV due to Wallace's stubbornly pro-segregation and anti-civil rights base in the Deep South turning out bigly for him.

So something I've been working on, based on this country from a timeline of mine. I was kinda glad of making something in this timeline, I hadn't worked for it in a long while.

The parliamentary constituencies for the Pacific Union, a weird country created by a Concert of Europe compromise between the kings of Germany, France and the United Kingdom to create a united country for the Pacific islands. The Pacific Union was conformed as a federal parliamentary triarchy: with the approportionment being figured through a combination of population, political importance, and (especially in the case of Nauru) a bit of bribing.

The Pacific Union is made up of 31 autonomous archipelagos and islands, each with a certain amount of representation in the 140-member Pacific Congress.

I still haven't figured out what the political system will be like, but I'm really proud of how this turned out: I had to trace most of the smaller islands and I think it ended up pretty well.

There was a similar premise on here, somewhere, with the Republicans gaining back the black vote, and Democrats returning to their previous status as the "Southern" Party. This map, I think, is a good visual depiction of such a scenario. I assume Wallace breaks 80% in Alabama?
