I did 2016 as Clinton/Brown and got 318 electoral votes. Everything seemed to fall my way and I ended up winning in a landslide with 55% of the popular vote and all the swing states. Interestingly enough, I was within 300 votes of winning Utah even.

Landslide victory. Mind you, the two terrorist attacks in Europe seemed to help a lot.

poo poo, I just played as Wilson in 1916 and lost the election despite winning the popular vote. I only lost by 132 votes in Washington, and that would have been enough to swing the election in my favor.

Thank you for voting. In the most lopsided victory yet, Abraham Lincoln has been elected President of the United States, triggering yet another civil war. With him Lincoln brings Hannibal Hamlin, whose passionate cries for abolitionism have served as a rallying cry for the nation. Let us hope that this pair can bring the secessionists back into the fold. MOST POPULAR TICKET: Abraham Lincoln / Hannibal Hamlin (Republican) - 105 votes (92.9%) John Bell / Edward Everett (Constitutional Union) - 5 votes (4.4%) Stephen Douglas / Herschel V.Johnson (Democratic) - 2 votes (1.8%) John C. Breckenridge / Joseph Lane (Southern Democratic) - 1 vote (0.9%)

ELECTION OF 1864: Click here to vote in the Election of 1864! Background: As early as October 1860, both North and South realized that Lincoln’s victory was almost inevitable. Within the Democratic Party, Douglas virtually suspended his campaign and took to meeting with as many Southern politicians as possible in a desperate attempt to avert secession. Meanwhile, former Whigs and moderate Southerners called upon President Buchanan to do something, anything, to cool tensions. Surely, the sitting President of the United States, the man who had conceded so much in search of union, could bring the South to heel. In late 1864, Buchanan answered those calls by issuing a brief address that denied the legal right of states to secede, but also held that the Union could not legally prevent the South from leaving. He then lambasted Lincoln as a radical, rejected all proposals to strengthen the military, and refused to take further action to avert secession. Several members of Buchanan’s administration resigned in disgust. South Carolina seceded in December, followed by Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. The recently departed states agreed to form a new government, one that would uphold and protect slaveholding as a constitutional right and protect the region from Northern imperialism: the Confederate States of America. By February 1861, the South had succeeded in seizing most federal forts and properties. A quarter of the Army was forced into surrender without Buchanan so much as issuing a statement in response. Half of Congress resigned from their posts, leaving a small lame-duck rump behind. Unionists attempted one last peace conference which quickly failed due to a lack of support from both sides. Thus, when Abraham Lincoln was sworn into office on 4 March, 1861, it marked a sudden and abrupt shift in policy. Standing before a large crowd, Lincoln announced that he would not permit the South to leave. No more territory would be lost to the Confederacy. The remaining Union-controlled forts in the South would be supplied and maintained. If the South wanted their slaveocracy, it would need to fight for it. In April, Southern forces fired upon Fort Sumter and the war was on. Over the next four years, the United States would endure the bloodiest war in its history. More than 237 major battles would be fought, with many more low-intensity skirmishes among soldiers and civilians alike. The United States Army would swell from 16,000 men to over 600,000. The war would strain the limits of the United States Constitution, with martial law being enacted across border states and habeas corpus being unilaterally suspended by the President. Cities would become battlegrounds between Unionists and draft dodgers, many of whom were Irish immigrants forcibly enlisted by Democrats to shore up their popular support. Despite this general chaos, Lincoln agreed early in the fighting to allow elections to proceed on schedule and without interference. Unfortunately, his affinity for democracy has earned him no allies across the country. Though twin victories at Vicksburg and Gettysburg remain fresh in the public’s consciousness, Lincoln has had to fend off attacks both within and outside his party for a chance at victory in the 1864 Election. As the Civil War has progressed, Lincoln has increasingly struggled to keep the support of radical abolitionists who have grown disappointed at Lincoln’s pragmatic “Union-first” approach to the Civil War. John C. Frémont, who had his attempted emancipation of slaves rescinded by Lincoln in 1861, has publicly opposed Lincoln for refusing to enact immediate prohibitions against slavery. Frémont has been endorsed publicly by Frederick Douglas and suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who believe Lincoln to be far too moderate and the Emancipation Proclamation to be too little, too late. Samuel Chase, Lincoln’s own Treasury Secretary, has been running a shadow primary campaign against Lincoln since 1863 under the belief that Lincoln is too moderate, too inexperienced, and too unelectable. Within the Democratic Party, Lincoln has had to deal with serious allegations about his competency. Preying upon public hatred of the military draft and Lincoln’s questionable attachment to civil liberties, the Democrats have accused Lincoln of perpetuating an unjust war out of sadism and personal pride. Playing on racial enmity and the overreaching emancipation proclamation, the Democrats have called for settlement with the Confederacy on mutually agreed upon terms. They hope they can play on the North’s war exhaustion to gain victory and reach a reasonable settlement with their brothers in the South. Caught in the middle of these two groups, Lincoln has been called by his opponents a Filthy Story-Teller, Despot, Liar, Thief, Braggart, Buffoon, Usurper, Fiend, and Butcher. He fears that he will lose re-election and has taken extreme measures in an attempt to mitigate the possibility. Though Frémont has since suspended his candidacy, horrified by the Democratic platform of a negotiated settlement, Lincoln has announced his support of a constitutional amendment to ban slavery and insisted upon the unconditional surrender of the South to undermine any would-be splitters within the Republican Party. He has further exploited his ties with the state-run parties across the North to force Chase into withdrawing. To counteract the Democrats, Lincoln has established the “National Union Party,” a temporary alliance of Republicans and Pro-War Democrats committed to the preservation of the Union. With Andrew Johnson, a prominent Democrat, at his side, Lincoln hopes he can attract Unionists of all colours to support his election. The future of the Union may depend on it. CANDIDATES: National Union Party Nominees: Presidential Nominee: Abraham Lincoln
Vice Presidential Nominee: Andrew Johnson
Democratic Party Nominees: Presidential Nominee: George B. McClellan
Vice Presidential Nominee: George H. Pendleton

He recovered well from a disease in his first term, so it looks like he adapted to the unhealthy swampy air of Washington. Relax, there is no way Johnson would come close to power. Just like Hamlin, he will be purely decorative and then disappear in obscurity.
