Hmmm, I think TN will cast its votes for Buckley/Baker. Also think RI will join MD as a Dem OTL --> GOP ITTL

Virginia for Carter? It was the one state that didn't vote for Carter in 1976? I don't see it happening that way. Everything else is believable
Yeah, much better choice. My prediction is that Buckley will win TX, VA, and TN.
Very strong wins for Buckley. TN was actually really tight OTL. Having Baker on the ticket may have widened the margin even with Carter's strength in the South
MI and MA, Big wins for Buckley. Was MA a stronger win for Buckley than it was for Reagan?
Chapter Fifty-Two
"We can now call the State of Delaware for Buckley, the State of Maine's Electors for Buckley."
-Peter Jennings (1980)
"Pennsylvania and Ohio vote Buckley."
-John Chancellor (1980)
"We have received the results from two states-Minnesota and Wisconsin. Minnesota has voted for Carter, but Wisconsin's 11 electoral votes have gone for Buckley-Buckley is the next President of the United States of America."

So the only states that Buckley flipped from OTL are RI and MD. Interesting
