2016 United States Presidential election as the North Korean 2014 parliamentary election

Chairman William "Bill" Browder (Workers') - 538 EVs, 90.1%
Others (Democratic Socialist, Christian Workers', General Association of American Residents in Canada) - 0 EVs, 9.9%

With the turnout at 99.9%, Chairman Browder of the People's Republic of America (grandson of the first Chairman, Earl Browder) easily won all states an all 538 electoral votes. His worst performance was in Idaho where he won 84.7% while his best was in the Capital District where he won 97.7%.

This is my prediction for what the 2060 electoral map will look like.

Rationales...
- Global warming means a lot of well-off people flee the South for the Appalachian mountains. This together with NoVa being incredibly wanked leads the Upper South to be firmly blue and West Virginia to be seen as an incredibly suburban state. Tennessee's Eastern half goes blue for the first time ever, and the state is considered swing between the Democratic east and Republican west.
- The Midwest is dominated by one mega-city, Chicago. More properly called Chicagoland, it dominates the political scene of three states and keeps those firmly blue. Elsewhere, it's red.
- Nevada has suffered a very, very bad drought and Las Vegas rapidly depopulates, leaving Nevada with a lot less people, and a more Republican bent.
- Montana has became a new Colorado, full of middle-class liberal hippies.
- Alaska is now seen as a diverse Vermont and a firm blue state.

I would think that would lead to the opposite result, what with the fact that the remaining Deep Southerners would likely be majority-minority (or, at least, have more minorities than the current population), and that if the Republican Party stays on its current side (hell, maybe even if it doesn't) with regard to climate change it will seem like a betrayal.

Maybe I'm just weird but I've always had a weird fascination with Eastern Tennessee voting D. However I have to say I hope this prediction in general doesn't come true, since I live in NOVA :openedeyewink:

Depopulated Nevada makes me sad, but I like Blue Kentucky (probably with a lot more electoral votes, too!)

'kay, but what about North Carolina and Minnesota? I mean, it seems to me that a lot of the well-off people would go to North Carolina and Virginia primarily rather than the Appalachian mountains, since, as far as I've heard, NC is extremely business-friendly along with a low cost of living.

North Carolina is also vulnerable to floods, which makes it rather unappealing. The people looking for new homes want to escape the floods, basically.

Minnesota is a swing state.
