Please continue doing that, those states that mix it up are more interesting than D-R ones to me.

"Exciting" "Interesting"
I really wouldn't want to be on the ground in Pendragon. It doesn't seem like a nice place to be at all.

Nice work!
Not just you, but what is with this thought that the Democrats can sweep the Atlantic Coast? I could see Tennessee or Mississippi going Democratic before South Carolina.

In 2012, President Obama lost South Carolina by 10.47%, but he lost Tennessee and Mississippi by 20.40% and 11.50% respectively.

Fun stuff.
Though putting aside the SDP/Alliance analogy I doubt that a party created by a gang of New Labour would actually have the word socialist as part of its name.
OK, I'm not going to write a long type-up for this, but here's the election that brought America's first fascist president (and its last and only) to power.
Basically a lot of shit went bad for America between now and 2088. I've covered this in my infobox for the fascist President, so I don't think I need to repeat myself.
Link to that infobox I was talking about.
I'll go in a little about the opponents.
President Tammy Schroeder started her career as a Democrat, but joined National Unity willingly and built off from there. In 2082, long-time President Justin O. Nathan died (of a cause I've not decided yet) and new President Victor Young chose Schroeder as his veep. In 2084, Young chose not to run for a term of his own, citing the need for a "fresh start". Schroeder won the NUP convention uncontested and the general handily. Her veep is Spike Durden, a businessman from Maryland. Over her one term, America has not improved that well, and she lacks the divisive popularity that President Nathan had.
Governor Jenni Perry is the leader of the "Lone Star Party", a Texan regionalist party that tends center-right. Unlike other regionalist parties, LSP failed to have the opportunity to bring Texas out due to the heavy military presence there. However, Texas massively prefers them to the NUP and American Party (Imagine something like the SNP's current situation). Jenni Perry is the great-great-granddaughter of Rick Perry, so no, it isn't a concidence. I just wanted to have the irony of Rick Perry's mostly-Hispanic great-great-granddaughter leading a multiracial Texas out of America. Her running mate is Abigail Durantez, who also lives in Texas. Since the abolishment of the electoral college in the 2040s, "same-state tickets" are allowed and no penalty is put on them, but this really only happens for regionalist ones.
The election itself. Sorry for any mess. And yes, I did calculate the PV numbers. The flag is the same one as today due to stubborn refusal to recognize the seceded (or nullified) states as anything else but "temporary". This is something both Nat Unity and American Party are guilty of, BTW. Lone Star obviously wants one less star.

Interesting choice of Joseph Gordon-Levitt as your Hispanic presidential candidate, seeing the guy is entirely of Eastern European Jewish stock. It's a bit like how Jason Briggs is often cast to play Jewish characters while he isn't actually Jewish at all, but Italian-American.
I thought he looked convincingly Hispanic. Hey, at least I cast a Spanish politician as the mostly-Hispanic Jenni Perry!
Grand Prince Gustav of Finland, the "greatest king that Sweden never had" was the eldest child of Gustav IV Adolf and Theodora of Russia, and was their favourite son. He had inherited the political genius of his grandfather Gustav III and great-grandmother Catherine II of Russia, and was every bit as ambitious as those two enlightened despots. Unlike his inept father who never did manage to speak the Finnish language without a strong Swedish accent, Grand Prince Gustav grew up in Turku, and spoke the language fluently. He was also (unlike his father) capable of political negotiations both with the Riksdag in Stockholm and the Eduskunta in Turku, and was actually a fairly formidable military commander.
Married to the daughter of the Duke of York (and later King of Hanover), things looked bright for Gustav in the 1820s. His role in the 1822 Swedish election and attempts to reconcile Turku and Stockholm in the 1828 constitutional dispute are well recorded by history. It is unknown what might have happened had not Valtionpäämies Heinämaa been murdered in Turku in 1829 on his way to board the ship to take him to Stockholm. Perhaps a compromise could have been worked out over the issue of exportation of grain? Instead, there were soon riots in every major town and city in Finland, and Czar Paul the Demonic (or Paul the Possessed, depending on how you translate it) seized the moment to invade Finland to free it from the tyranny of the Swedish government. What followed was the War of the Long Winter, which lasted from 1829-1831. As commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army, Gustav lived up to the tradition of Swedish warrior kings like Gustavus Adolphus and Charles XII. So much so, that like those two men, he died in the Battle of Tolvajärvi in 1831. Though Finland-Sweden-Norway would a few months later win the war, King Gustav IV Adolf's heart was broken, and his descent into melancholy began. August Edvard af Trolle, son of the late Realm Protector, was granted his father's old title of Duke of Åland and appointed as Acting Grand Prince of Finland until such a day that a new Grand Prince was born. Meanwhile, the heirship to the Swedish-Norwegian throne passed to the late Gustav's brother Charles Frederick, the Viceroy of Norway, a man who was utterly uninterested in politics and was living the life of a rake down south on the continent where he went under the pseudonym of the Count of Gripsholm.
Of course, Charles Frederick would not live to inherit the throne either...
Small miracles, I guess.
The Commonwealth of Avalon is actual American territory--a commonwealth is a level of federalism between the state and federal governments. Avalon, its states and many of its cities derive their name from the OTL nomenclature of Mimas.
It was a prolonged process. Plus I'm too lazy to figure out EVs after the 2040s, so I just abolished it there. Laziness for the win.
