Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

I was thinking something along these lines myselfChallenge Accepted. The easiest way to make this electoral map make sense is to put the parties into alliances. I split it into three different alliances for ease and time saving.
People's Alliance - Democratic Party+Progressive Party+Populist Party
States Rights Alliance - Nullifier Party+American Independent Party+Constitutional Union+Dixiecrat+Democratic-Republican Party+Southern Democratic Party
National Alliance - Republican Party+Whig Party+Federalist Party+National Republican+Anti-Masonic Party
For candidates I used FaceApp to combine the faces of a modern politician and a historical one.
The various running mates is to each party in the alliance nominating a different Vice-Presidential Candidate.
In this way, the electoral map would be the same, but it's a more realistic situation.

Here is an electoral map based on the alliances I just whipped up. Will cross-post in Map Thread.
Yeah.
Thanks. The home state thing is a holdover from editing the Constitutional Union part. Wallace only carried Arkansas.
It always seemed to me that a small independent Eastern European country led by a deformed king-dictator-occultist-inventor fits into the interwar period much better than into the sixties.

Nice idea you had. I also had an idea on how to make an electoral map out of that map, though it was more about chaos and the popular vote.
Latveria-as-Albania I see. Victor Emmanuel strikes again.

Well, just be aware it will be an Electoral Map where most of the focus is on the writeup. Blame my shitty infobox skills.
[edited, fixing clumsy formatting]
Sorry if this question has an obvious answer, but what did you use to make this map?

A worse Red Scare leads to calls for a firm hand at the tiller, and who better than the man who helmed the American Expeditionary Force? It takes a few ballots at the convention, but John J. Pershing finds himself heading the ticket. Inexperienced in matters of politics, he is unable to prevent the convention from stampeding to nominate Calvin Coolidge.
The Democrats meanwhile nominate Acting President and Secretary of State Robert Lansing (Thomas Marshall is dead, and Lansing isn’t interested in letting Edith Wilson take power) A. Mitchell Palmer is added to the ticket because, hey, worse Red Scare. Lansing is unfortunately rather associated with the unpopular League of Nations, and not the best campaigner, and thus Pershing’s own dry style does not hamper the general. He wins in a landslide.

I'm a novice at it, but I believe you can download an OTL election's map as a .svg file. That file can then be edited in Notepad++ to add faithless electors, change the colors of states, alter candidate names, and so on. From there you re-upload to Wikimedia Commons to use.
A little late, but here's my take.
I dare someone to make a election wikibox out of this.

They're part of the revision of that timeline I'm working on. Between work and other obligations, I've dealing with a bit of writer's block. I've gotten the timeline rewritten up until about the year 2000. I'm trying to get my creative juices going by creating the film boxes. Since, I won't really be covering them directly in the timeline, I thought I throw out some ideas here. I have a few more that I want to do to round out the 70s.
