Looks good, though I think Reconstruction would probably do better.
True enough
I had thought so too, but after going through their results riding-by-riding, they were little more than a blip. Reconstruction candidates rarely broke into double digits, and those who did still routinely lagged 10-20pp behind the Liberal or Conservative candidate. The Conservative brand is weaker here, and it is benefiting Reconstruction somewhat, but they're just not in the position to leap the reward: they're splitters, they're more radical than the Conservatives, and they just don't have the organisation (or funds) to compete.

Gone Fishin'
If Utah goes Trump, Trump has won the election. Also none of the boxes have change Obama as the previous President, nor taken redistricting into account.
Well, you took Hillary's goal of being Obama's third term to a new level.
Actually, redistricting wouldn't take effect until the 2022 midterms, and the new Electoral College wouldn't be used until 2024.
And now, the most Ridiculous UN Security Council Resolution ever Made.
The Security Council,
Expressing its continuing concern with the grave situation in the Middle East,
Noting that Israel's record and actions establish conclusively that it is not a peace-loving Member State and that it has not carried out its obligations under the Charter of the United Nations,
Noting further that Israel has consistently refused, in violation of Article 25 of the Charter, to withdraw from participating in the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest and every such Song Contest held thereafter, thus failing to carry out its obligations under the Charter,
Affirms that the fulfilment of Charter principles requires the establishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, to which the participation of Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest is an obstacle;
Rejects Israel's Victories in the 1978, 1979 and 1998 Contests, which infringe upon the sovereign rights of the residents of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and of the occupied Syrian Golan;
Strongly condemns the continued Participation of Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest;
Condemns Italy and the United Kingdom for expressing full support for Israel in the second Semi-Final of the most recent Contest;
Calls for renewed and urgent efforts by the parties and the international community to achieve a comprehensive peace based on the vision of a region where two democratic States, Israel and Palestine, live side by side in peace with secure and recognized borders, as envisaged in Security Council resolution 1850 (2008), and recalls also the importance of the Arab Peace Initiative.

I'm of the view than Utah will go for Trump, but the margin will lessen significantly. There's no chance in hell it's going to vote for a Democrat.
Also, redistricting only happens after 2020.

The United States presidential election of 2052 was the 67th quadrennial election presidential election. Senator Lily Vang of California, the Democratic Party nominee, and her running mate Senator Michael Burson of Texas, defeated Republican Party nominee and incumbent Vice President Ethan Webster and his running mate, Governor Isabella Gutierrez of New Mexico.
Then incumbent President Jacob McKay was ineligible to run for a third term due to the Twenty-second Amendment of the United States Constitution. Webster campaigned on continuing to "secure jobs" through protective tariffs and agricultural subsidies, while limiting job loss due to automation through rigorous enforcement of human prioritization laws. Vang attacked the McKay administration for sluggish GDP growth and income inequality, especially in the disparities between the plurality of non-Hispanic White Americans and all other ethnic groups, as well as between women and men. To address these, Vang called for increased free trade, up to a year of paternal leave days, and a financial assistance plan targeted specifically at racial minorities.
Vang was in the lead by double-digits for most of the year until the Fifth Taiwan Strait Crisis in August, wherein President McKay was commended for his leadership and received a rally 'round the flag bump which translated to gains for Webster, who took a small lead. In late October, a controversy re-surfaced for Webster's running mate Gutierrez, with proof emerging that she had drove a classmate to suicide through online bullying during high school. Webster's tone-deaf response to the controversy during the debates reinforced the Vang campaign's image of him as heartless and out of touch, which helped Vang eke out a victory by a relatively thin margin on Election Day.

I've always wondered, how do I make a neat-looking Wikipedia-style election map?
Nicely done, and I love the electoral map.
Also, New York can't get a break with its EV, can it?

Mm, download Inkscape and then download an electoral map in .SVG format from Wikipedia.
Thank you very much! And, nope.
Thanks! I'll be redoing my 1980-2020 infoboxes soon.Mm, download Inkscape and then download an electoral map in .SVG map from Wikipedia.
