But yeah it's pretty cool and unique. I DEMAND MOAR!!?!?1!!!

Henry Clay (W-KY) / Theodore Frelinghuysen (W-NJ)
1,375,752 (50.88%) | 195 Electoral
James K. Polk (D-TN) / George M. Dallas (D-PA)
1,263,958 (56.75%) | 80 Electoral
James G. Birney (L-MI) / Thomas Morris (L-OH)
62,054 (2.30%) | 0 Electoral
Mostly good, except:
I think Polk should be 46% instead of 56%.
If I read that correctly, Butler wouldn't be eligible. The Senate picks the top two VP candidates, don't ask me why.
Here is a primary consisting of all four nominees since 2000, I combined McCain and Romney's multiple runs.
John McCain - 28.23% (697)
Mitt Romney - 26.06% (647)
Donald Trump - 24.69% (637)
George W. Bush - 21.02% (350)
So, who does the RNC pick now?

Christian Democrats, despite their name, are supposed to represent Southern ex-Democrats, they're the right-wing split of the Democrats. Contrast them with the NDP.IMO West Virginia should be progressive labor in 1980.
Edit: ninja'd!
Double edit: they should also be reform in 1984; WV isn't nearly as evangelical as people think.
Great job! Please do 1988, 1992, and 1996!A French-style America?
My attempt at breaking down the "coalitions" of OTL parties into more "European-style" parties.
Also, nationwide fusioning!
Ronald Reagan's "Moral Majority Coalition"
National Reform Party - 1981-1989: The dominant conservative party, it has shrunk from 1972 thanks to splits.
Christian Democrats - 1981-1989: The Southern-regional rightists that distrusted President Carter and the New Democrats.
Libertarian Party - 1981-1989: Back in the game, and this time has a President more open to their ideas.
Faith and Family - 1981-1989: The really extreme Christian right. Has some influence in the Cabinet...
Ordinary People - 1981-1987: The hardline "Nixonites" who distrusted Reagan, but backed him anyway. Collapsed in 1987.
Liberal Party - 1984-1985: The "Fordite" liberals who backed Anderson, and Reagan only in 1984, left shortly after.

That's a valid criticism. I'll look into revising 1980 and 1984. For Missouri, keep in mind that there's a good chunk of people who just don't get fusion voting and just vote for the "party that can win" i.e. National Reform.I'd also question calling the Plains states Libertarian rather than National Reform, and both Iowa and Missouri might fit better as one of the religious-themed parties what with the heavy number of evangelicals (I would at least not call subsidy-loving Iowa Libertarian either) but I don't have any other disagreements.
