Who won the other 14% of the vote, and how did Nixon still perform that well in the electoral map despite bleeding away support like Alexei Romanov?

The 1988 United States presidential election was the 51st quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 8, 1988. Democratic Governor of New York, Mario Cuomo, defeated incumbent Vice President George H.W. Bush in a narrow race.
Incumbent president Ronald Reagan was ineligible to seek a third term. Bush entered the Republican primaries as the front-runner, defeating U.S. Senator Bob Dole and televangelist Pat Robertson to win the nomination. He selected U.S. Senator Dan Quayle of Indiana as his running mate. Cuomo won the Democratic primaries after defeating his main rivals, Michael Dukakis and Jesse Jackson. He selected U.S. Senator Sam Nunn of Georgia as his running mate.
Bush ran an aggressive campaign concentrated on the economy, reducing urban crime, and continuing Reagan's policies. He attacked Cuomo as an elitist "New York liberal," which Cuomo aggressively countered with attacks on the Reagan deficit, the Iran-Contra scandal, and Bush's lack of concrete domestic policies (a failing Bush himself called "the vision thing"). Cuomo led by a wide margin in early polls, and although this gap narrowed after the Republican National Convention, Cuomo continued to lead, especially after strong performances in two presidential debates (compounded by Dan Quayle's poor performance in the Vice Presidential debate). No Republican candidate has since won California, Connecticut, Maine, or Vermont. Cuomo narrowly won the popular vote by 2 million, and with narrow victories in Ohio, Iowa, Georgia, and Delaware, defeated Bush to become the 41st President of the United States.

Is anyone else interested? I can't recall the name of the user who proposed the biweekly infobox contest but I'd be willing to run the contest if they're okay with that and if others are interested.
How does Nixon run for a third term if the 22nd Amendment is a thing?
That looks very interesting, I like the idea of a politically active Jackie Kennedy who tries to preserve her husband's legacy...
