I'm reading Almost President: The Men Who Lost The Race But Changed The Nation. The book states that Charles Evans Hughes, if he'd won California, could have beaten Wilson in 1916.

Now what? The book said he had a strong record on civil liberties as chief justice, so if the U.S. enters WWI in TTL, we won't see the Sedition Act and various other abuses. Maybe the International Workers of the World doesn't get wiped out and there aren't the Palmer Raids and the First Red Scare.
