This is a massive (not really massive) reference to my TLIAW I just finished A Rigged Deck, for a Rigged System. While Alaska and Canada were briefly touched on by the end, I figured I'd expand this here in an obtuse way. Enjoy.

Shortly after the 2020 election President Castro got to work on admitting Israel to the Union in order to spite Hussein.
He then left the running of the country to Kucinich and spent most of his time telling stories and regaling the press.
An attempt on his life was made while he was attending a baseball game involving an explosive baseball.
This popular presidential arrangement would soon be challenged by former Prime Minister Netanyahu who would go on to get 197 electoral votes as a result of lower than average voter turnout, vote rigging and the new and improved US Public Health system.
One does wonder how Saddam and Netanyahu ended up in the same party...
As to where the other 19.5% of votes went to....
I think admitting Canada, Mexico and the UK to the USA should return some sense into the system!

How much of America by now has embraced the Islamic Faith? Likewise it seems that those in politics would all be embracing it!
What was his planned policies?
With the candidate pool significantly narrowed, the Republicans convinced their only reliable option to change his name, convert to Islam, and sprout a beard. "It's really itchy" remarked the new president, to the thunderous applause of those gathered to celebrate his third term in office.
You know, if the GOP was that desperate they might as well had Prince Bandar as their candiate!
New parties contesting this election include...
Kim-Jong Un as Eternal President?

Well, one can at least say you cannot win elections without Iran and Iraq on your side!
Is Palestine included in this USA?
Anyway, here's Nebraska. A long-time Conservative stronghold, Nebraska has been wracked by weak governments and hung legislatures since 2004 when the far-right Cornhusker Party split from the Conservatives. There's been 6 elections since 2004 (including the 2014 election), and there has been very little movement on any side in any of them. The Conservatives tend to hold a minority government for a year or so before it collapses and they call for a new election, hoping for the best. The centre-left Progressives are mostly found in Omaha and in Lincoln, while the far-left People's Alternative is essentially the Ernie Chambers Party. There's a great deal of animosity between the Conservatives and the Cornhuskers, and voter fatigue has begun to set in as voter turnout has spiraled down and down with each new election. Mike Flood remained as Governor in a minority government, while Charlie Janssen remained Leader of the Opposition. Progressive Leader Mike Fahey stepped down as party leader after 12 years at the helm.
I'm a little confused about the way this system actually works. Where do Buchanan's bonus 35 and Webster's bonus 33 electoral votes (as it is shown in the infobox) come from?
It's basically OTL Nebrsska with its Republican denomination and intra party spats.
And Ernie Chambers.
Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Empire Matti Vanhanen (same universe as the Donald Tusk inbox. Again, feel free to add to the universe):
That's my fault. I forgot to change them.
I'm guessing Finland is still a part of Russia?
Reminds me of Alberta pre-2015. You have a main conservative party (PCs/Conservatives), a rightier challenger (Wildrose/Cornhusker), a soft-left party (Liberal/Progressive) and a left-wing one (NDP/People's Alternative).
Of course we won't get a People's Alternative majority in 2015.
Yep, the rule for this TL is that if it was Russian, it stays Russian (except for the minuscule colonies in California and Hawaii). Finland is quite autonomous though. But it's certainly part of the Empire.
Since I recently finished watching all of the Star Trek movies and TV shows (except Enterprise because sitting through Voyager was hard enough at times), I figured I'd post these infoboxes I've made of Captains Kirk, Sisko, Janeway & Picard.
The infoboxes are from an "main universe" standpoint of 2379 (AKA after the events of Nemesis) and there's only a little bit of dipping into non-canon works or creative liberties (mostly just getting things like Sisko's and Janeway's exact dates of birth, which in Janeway's case would also provide a date when she graduated the Academy and was commissioned into Starfleet).

Following his slim victory in September 2014, Conservative Governor Mike Flood realized that the state needed some stability. Due to his personal animosity with Charlie Janssen, he offered a confidence and supply agreement with the Progressives--which were being lead on an interim basis by veteran legislator Chris Butler until a new leader could be elected. With a bit of quid pro quo. The most controversial of which was a repeal of the death penalty, a long-standing Progressive Party plank. This attempt blew up in Flood's face spectacularly, as seven MLAs walked out out of his party. Likewise, seven MLAs left the Cornhusker Party due to what they perceived as the party leadership's unnecessary attempts at obstructionism. The fourteen MLAs joined together to form the Nebraska Party, the largest party in the Legislative Assembly. Mike Flood remained on Governor and he called a new election, hoping to catch the nasceant Nebraska Party off guard.
The new election in April 2015 proved to be a disaster for everyone. Turnout was abysmally low as conservatives and right-wingers all decided to stay home. New Progressive leader Amanda McGill had her base fired up. The three right-wing parties attacked each other ferociously, giving the Progressives an extraordinarily rare opportunity. Seizing, the Progressives not only managed to become the largest party in the Legislative Assembly, but also attained a majority. The leaders of the three right-wing parties all lost due to spectacular and vicious vote splitting. At the age of 35, Amanda McGill become the youngest Governor in Nebraska history.

Ernie Chambers is really the best.
Does the People's Alternative Party run anyone but Ernie Chambers?
