DBWI: No 1992 deadlock

The 1992 Presidential Election ended with Clinton receiving 264 Electoral Votes, Bush 214 and Perot 60. The Democratic-controlled congress made Clinton and Gore president and vice president, but they were dogged with accusations of illegitimacy (the veritable three-way tie in the popular vote led to Perot frequently claiming that he had won the popular vote). What if the deadlock had not happened? What if Clinton had won a majority in the electoral college?
 
Perot did win the majority in the popular vote, but when your majority is just by 11,000 votes it doesn't mean too much.

After the scandal-prone Clinton administration (how many President end up having to deal with decade-old Rape accusations...) we ended up going with the "return to normalcy" ticket of Bush and Dole. Never before had being boring been made into such an asset by a ticket.

And then America voted for George W Bush and Vice President Liz Dole in 2000! Wonderfully cheeky.
 
The reform party wouldn’t make it very far without it.
They didn't make it very far anyway. They won, like, New Hampshire in 2000 and then were never relevant again. They're kinda significant in the House, but they'd be more significant if they didn't just vote the same as Republicans every time.

I actually think the party might have gone farther ITTL because it wouldn't be blamed for the chaos of the deadlock.

I think it depends if they actually win any states. If Clinton wins but the reform party got some states then they could get far ITTL
 
With the House deciding, it's not the EVs that matter, but the state delegations with each state getting a single vote. What states did each of the 3 win?
