Hint 2: He ran in either the primaries or the Presidential race IOTL sometime between 1980-2000 as a Republican
I don't usually request maps, but could someone attempt to make a county map for 1968 if Wallace was the Democratic nominee and Humphrey was a progressive third party? Basically they just switch places so that Wallace gets the exact % that Humphrey got IOTL and Humphrey gets the exact same % that Wallace did.
That would take a bit of math to work out the swings in each county, since Wallace would have to make huge gains outside of the south, minor ones in the upper south, and none in the deep south where almost all white Democrats were already voting for him.
I can't make a county map but this would be electoral map if Humphrey won 29.2% less and Wallace 29.2% more in each state. Therefore, Nixon would still win 43.4%, Wallace 42.7% and Humphrey 13.5%.
That's about what I was expecting, it's kind of amazing that Nixon would win 362 electoral votes while only winning the popular vote by .7%. I think I'll attempt to make a county map for this, since it shouldn't be too difficult to just take 29.2% away from Humphrey and add 29.2% to Wallace in each county, although it will of course be very time consuming.
This is what Alabama would've looked like in this scenario, for starters. not surprisingly, Wallace wins the state by a larger margin than even FDR ever did.
George Wallace/Curtis LeMay (D) 95.06%
Irrelevant Candidates/Irrelevant Running Mates (R/D) 4.94%
You can't do that and get an accurate map, since Humphrey got less than 29% of the vote in hundreds of counties, and Wallace broke 71% in quite a few. Those missing votes need to be compensated for somewhere else.
I got over amazing in that regard when I looked at the 1860 Election with one candidate getting all the non-Lincoln votes. Lincoln with 39% of the vote and 166 of the 303 electoral votes. (Lincoln only one with a plurality iOTL in New Jersey, Oregon and California and New Jersey was weird in that election iOTL anyway). The key is 95%+ vote states for Wallace in the south...

Here is the map of the next Quebec election if it was held today.

So I've been working on a few Polynesia maps for an alternate history that's mostly over in the other wikia, although I haven't worked in it there in a looooong time and there's a lot of stuff in here too.
The Kingdom of Hawaii is, by far, the largest and most influential (to its eternal rival, the Kingdom of Fiji's, chagrin) of the autonomous states of the Pacifici Union (a strange, to say the least, confederation of islands in the Pacific ocean), and its internal policies have a great deal of importance to the functioning of the Union, to the degree that an opposition party heading the government of Hawaii has historically been referred to as "cohabitation", and has more than once brought the national government to a screeching halt. Because of that, the parties at the national parliament in 'Iolani Palace fret and invest into the races to occupy the close Aliiolani Palace (the Hawaiian monarchy has moved back to a rebuilt Kaniakapupu), sometimes with even greater strength than they do to defend their own seats.
The 2012 elections had been very close and had brought uncertainty to Oceania. The rightwing bloc of the Ohana Party (part of the liberal-agrarian coalition known as the Wanahau Party nationally), allied with the conservative Kapu Party (part of the national party of the same name), and the small right-populist Ku'okoa Party - Hawaii First! (part of the loose confederation of parties known as the Pacific of Nations and Freedom) had edged out the larger number of seats against the green-socialist 'Aloha Aina (part of the national party Talofa Lava) and the Labor Party of Hawaii (part of the social-democratic Pacific Section of the Workers' International): however, they had not earned the majority of the seats in Parliament, and had to depend from the centrist, libertarian Republican Party of Hawaii (contradictory, since Ohana and Kapu have traditionally been seen as the strongest defenders of the Hawaiian monarchy). However, the slight majority held four years, and pushed the right to national victory in elections in 2014.
Paoa Aiona's tenure as Prime Minister of Hawaii was rife with instability and accusations of bad governance and corruption, especially by cabinet members of the Republican Party (who have historically been seen as in bed with Pentecostal preachers, businessmen, and large sugarcane farm owners, and has a bad reputation for corruption). On the other hand, 'Aloha Aina elected an extremely popular leader in Lili'u ʻĪʻī, a charismatic 37-year old born in Ni'ihau, with a heavy Hawaiian-language accent and, before her election into popular office, an internationally-recognised lawyer. 'Aloha Aina and Labour soon shot up in the polls, especially amongst native Hawaiians in Hawaii and Kauai, and, by the time the writ was dropped in April of 2016, was by far the leading party, with a ten-point lead in the polls and with an absolute majority with Labor.
While polling tightened by the end of the electoral season, 'Aloha Aina beat the second party, Labor, by 8 points, and the largest rightwing party dropped to only 20% of the vote. While the two parties together had only half of the votes, an electoral agreement was soon reached with a new minor party, the Pacific Pirate Party, who granted a two-seat majority (the centrist eDemocrats could also be counted for on some aspects, raising the majority to three seats). With the rightwing in disarray, and Ohana breaking with Kapu and the Republicans to sit on the crossbench, the election brought shockwaves to Oceania, greatly strengthening Talofa Lava and weakening the Wanahau Party. Immediately after the election, opposition leaders in four countries (Va'ai Efi of the Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (Samoa) (Frei), Tomasi Sopaoga of the Tuvaluan Atua Party, Jean Temaru of the Tavini Huiraatira of Tahiti, and Tarterani Masere of the Rotuma Labour Party) called for motions of no confidence on their governments.
Political Parties in Hawaii
Government
'Aloha Aina (Green politics, democratic socialism, soft republicanism, nativism, Hawaiian native interests) - 'Aloha Aina is one of the big two parties in Hawaii, and the paramount party of the leftwing coalition. The party favours more strongly leftwing policies and an abandonment of the traditional social conservatism of the islands, while supporting native communities. It is affiliated to the national party of Talofa Lava and close to more leftwing parties like Germany's Grün-Linke and the Eurasian Green Party - the Mensheviks. 'Aloha Aina got 29 seats in the Hawaiian Parliament (the House of Noho'Alihi), by far the largest party.
Hawaiian Labor Party (social democracy, social liberalism) - The HLP is the paramount party of the urban left, especially of young Whites and Asians, although plenty of native Hawaiians also support the party. It is closer to the centre than 'Aloha Aina, but also favours leftwing policies economically, and has closer ties to Hawaii's LGBT community and social issues. It is a part of the Pacific Sector of the Workers' International (PSWI), and close to social-democratic parties across the world like the British and German Social Democrats, the French Sector of the Workers' International, and New Labour in Eurasia. The HLP got 21 seats in the House of Noho'Alihi.
Pacific Pirate Party (pirate policies, economic democracy, feminism) - young, new, hip, and fun, the Pirate Party debuted some two months before the general election and managed to get two seats (displacing Ku'oko'a and the eDemocrats in Honolulu and Oahu as a whole). The Pirate Party, unlike pirate parties in other parts of the world (like the Eurasian Pirates), have taken a decidedly leftwing stance in economic issues, supporting economic democracy as well as their usual policies of Worldnet freedom and direct democracy. The Pirates have grown to popularity amongst college students and affluent leftwingers, and got 2 seats in the House of Noho'Alihi.
Crossbench
eDemocrats (liberalism, direct democracy) - the eDemocrats are the early XXI's version of the PPP, less developed than the PPP and less organised, and therefore far less popular, only scraping by over the fact that its leader, Nani Pelekai, is a minor celebrity in the island of Kauai. The eDemocrats are a liberal party, that supports the welfare state of the Kingdom of Hawaii but also a reduction in regulation and redtape of private institutions. They are popular amongst high-class entrepeneurs and yuppies, but not many more people. It's got one seat in the House of Noho'Alihi.
Ohana Party of Hawaii (agrarianism, nativism) - Ohana developed in the late 1950s as a new, hip, rightwing party with was down with native Hawaiians and the youth, and has remained that for the last 70 years, even as its shiny new face has worn off as it has gradually become the largest bloc in the right. Decimated in the 2016 elections and relegated to third place for the first time since the 1960s, Ohana decided to remove itself from the traditional opposition and has now set itself as the "middle-man" between the two blocs. Results, so far, have been inconclusive. The party is affiliated with the national Wanahau Party, and is internationally close to the German FDP.The Liberals and the Eurasian Progressive Liberals. Ohana has 19 seats in the House of Noho'Alihi.
Opposition
Party of Kapu (conservatism, Christian democracy, monarchism) - Kapu was historically the predominant rightwing party, the stalwart defenders of good morals and the monarchy in the Hawaiian islands. Kapu is now, because of Ohana's refusal to join the opposition, once again the Official Opposition, despite accusations of close ties (some people would call them puppet strings) to the Kaniakapupu. The Kapu is part of the national coalition of the same name, and internationally closest to the United Kingdom Conservative Party, and the Chinese Blue Bloc. Kapu has 16 seats in the House of Noho'Alihi.
Republican Party of Hawaii (libertarianism, corporatism, hard republicanism) - historically the biggest tool of the US Democrats to destabilise Hawaii, and the medium of influence of Pentecostal pastors and wealthy businessmen, the Republicans have historically been a taboo party (not part of the Party of Kapu, mind you) to ally with, until the 2012 election made it a necessity. They are often seen as corrupt, and are only by necessity the main branch of the Liberal Party of the Ocean in Hawaii (though overtures have been made between the leadership of the national party and eDemocracy). The Republicans have been historically very close to the US Democrats, which also leaves a very sour taste in people's mouths. Still, money has influence, and the Republicans have 9 seats in the House of Noho'Alihi.
Ku'oko'a Party - Hawaii First! (rightwing populism, Hawaiian chauvinism, nationalism) - Ku'oko'a is the smallest party in the historical rightwing coalition, based on rightwing populism, the prohibition of English and Japanese in the island, and the independence from the Pacific Union. Hawaii, which has historically been menaced by the United States, does not have much taste to antagonising white settlers and leaving Pacific protection, thank you very much, so Ku'oko'a is content with 3 representatives, the best they have done in decades.

Sadly, this would not happen.
Keep in mind that Herbert Hoover himself managed to get about 40% of the vote in 1932.
