The 1984 United States presidential election, which pitted former Vice President Walter Mondale against President Ronald Reagan, is considered to be one of the worst landslide defeats in American history, Reagan beat Mondale by a commanding margin in the popular vote (58.8% to 40.6%) and an even more commanding margin in the electoral vote, 525 to 13; winning 49 of 50 states (and losing only Minnesota, Mondale's home state; and the District of Columbia).
However, Mondale only won Minnesota by a mere 3,761 votes, what would have happened had at least 3.762 votes (if not more) swung the other way and gave Reagan Minnesota, and thus all 50 states and a commanding 535 - 3 victory in the electoral vote; what kind of effect would this have had on American politics?
