It's Goldwater as a communist winning an easy two terms in office against Nationalist candidates. This is followed by a controversial administration of George Wallace after allegations of a break and the attempted cover up against the communist party. America begins to get sick of the two party (communist and nationalist) system and so hopes to win big with John Anderson and Ronald Reagan, which the latter registers his home state as California to allow Illinois electors to vote for both candidates without them being from the same state. However the Independent Party's support is shown to be mostly sporadic and widespread akin to OTL's Perot yet manages to eek out pluralities in several states in an upset to the communists.
Nevertheless the communists would lose four years later in 1980 thanks to a more reorganized campaign effort by Anderson and an increased sickness of the establishment's two party system, to which Anderson would ride to a comfortable victory 1980. The Communists then get back in power thanks to the conservative communist stances of Steve Martin, who wants to increase military spending against the 'wicked' republic of china and the 'evil' Russian empire. Martin's approval ratings would be mostly consistent until a financial recession hits the country hard at the tail end of the 1980s, blaming the communist party and sending David Koresh in a landslide into the white house in 1988 against Tim Allen.
First, you download Inkscape (it's free). Then, you download the .svg file of the election you want to edit. Then, you open this file in Inkscape. Then, you select the bar you want to edit using "Select and Transform objects" (this is the top tool on the toolbar on the left and you can also select this tool by pressing F1). Now, at the top you should see a little dashboard which, among other things, has little boxes labelled "W", "H", and "W", with numbers that go up to 3 decimal points. After making sure the "keep to scale" option is turned off (the right side of your toolbar should look like this https://i.ibb.co/v3W465D/Scale.png) you then change the number in the "W" box to whatever amount of seats you want, plus 2. So if you want the Conservatives to win 51 seats in Ontario you'd set the "W" value of their bar in Ontario to 53.
Hopefully that clears it up and if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Interesting map. Bobby would definitely win Minnesota in 1972 though, probably any major Democrat other than McGovern could that year.
Really interesting series of info boxes...spent my morning commute looking up who each of the President’s and candidates were! Hope this series continues!
Had to do some fixes and a couple minor changes, hope the repost isn't a problem. :x
An update to this.
The 1998 United Kingdom general election was held on June 11, 1998 to elect 659 Members of Parliament to the House of Commons. The election was won by Neil Kinnock's Labour Party, who won a second consecutive majority government, although it lost 21 seats. The opposition New Conservative Party, still led by John Redwood, gained 21 seats, but the result was generally considered below expectations as they had been hoping to solidify their grip on areas formerly loyal to their predecessors but were disappointed to find almost 14% of the electorate still wedded to Ken Clarke's Conservatives.
The election was similar in terms of results to the last election four years earlier, with Labour winning a comfortable majority thanks to two right-wing opposition parties competing from the same pool of votes. Labour regained seats it had lost four years before in Scotland, whilst the SNP remained the dominant party north of the border, but did fall back after the high water mark of 1994. Both the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives, now under new leadership, made gains, although for the latter the result was not nearly as good as hoped, with some party supporters hoping that a significant enough recovery would have allowed it to claim back swathes of seats it had lost in the last election.
Whilst it had been generally expected that Kinnock would win a majority, the scale of his victory was surprising as it was generally believed that voters had grown tired of his premiership. Prior to the election, he had promised to step down before 2002, but ill health and his age led to him opting to step down two years after the election, where he was replaced as expected by his Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown.
The 2001 United Kingdom general election was held on July 5, 2001 to elect 659 Members of Parliament to the House of Commons. The election was called by Prime Minister Gordon Brown who, after a year in power, opted to seek a mandate separate from the one won by his predecessor Neil Kinnock three years earlier. Brown successfully won a marginally larger majority and a historic third consecutive Labour election victory.
Before the election campaign began, there were attempts from the opposition right-wing parties to merge the New Conservative Party and the traditional Conservative Party into a united electoral machine. Discussions suggested that even if the parties could not agree a common policy platform, they could stand down in each other's target seats to prevent vote-splitting. After Ken Clarke's departure as Tory leader, former Deputy Prime Minister and staunch Europhile Michael Heseltine won the party crown and fundamentally opposed any union with the Eurosceptic New Conservatives or an electoral pact. At the start of 2001, the New Conservatives reformed into the Conservative Alliance after it merged with the Referendum Party and the UK Independence Party (UKIP). Former New Conservative leader John Redwood was defeated in the subsequent leadership contest by his former Shadow Culture spokesman Bernard Jenkin, who became the first and to date only leader of the Alliance.
Labour gained four seats as, in line with polling, it experienced a 'new leader bump' in support. The Alliance made some minor gains, including its first seat in Scotland, but again was the victim of vote splitting amongst them and the Conservatives, allowing Labour candidates to win seats with very slim pluralities. The Scottish National Party, Liberal Democrats and Conservatives all lost seats. After defeat, Michael Heseltine would step down as Conservative leader and be replaced by Stephen Dorrell, who campaigned on a promise to seek to "reunite the right" with the Alliance.

Long Overdue
(V: That's a name I haven't heard in a long time)
After getting in to public disagreements with Murphy, Welker is kicked off the ticket and replaced with Reifel, the first Native American VP since Charles Curtis. Meanwhile, the Dems come up with a new strategy to retake to Presidency - just put someone on the ticket from the Long dynasty. That won't come off as nepotistic at all, now will it?

I’m loving getting to see my home town getting some representation. Out of curiosity, what’s the capital of New England?
Kurt Cobain(!) becomes a Senator and Rep.
Nice!
He's replaced in the HoR by Ed Murray.
Oh, shit.
Thanks! The capital is Malubimba aka Newcastle. What's your home town?
