This could maybe happen if Hillary died 5 days before the election I guess.

Actually, early voting would probably prevent that. Maybe 20 days?

Kaine would probably be elected anyway, as ballots would all still say Clinton.

This is my map. There are many like it, but this one is mine.



(Inspired by the recent poll showing Trump up only 3 points in Missouri. Gave him Iowa because it's a coinflip anyway and my map needs to be unique.)

That's right, though the average of recent Iowa polls shows just a very slight Clinton lead, and we only have a single poll to go on for Missouri.

Clinton will win the popular vote by about ~10 points or so. Texas, Indiana, and Montana will all be close Trump wins.

Boring, conventional close election map. Not the best-case scenario for Trump (without big changes to the fundamentals of the race) but probably close.

This election is not a joke and you should not be making light of it. It's a tough and emotional thing for a country to go through, speaking from personal experience, and I know that it's often much harder on the electorate than on the candidates.

Two, but they're in different parties and they cancel each other's vote out.

Fun electoral map history thing:

Alf Landon is infamous for getting absolutely spanked by FDR in the 1936 election, getting a whopping 8 votes in the college (Maine and Vermont). The election is also fun because, as today, polling was a disaster and the primaries and third parties were a total mess. It's worth taking a look at, since it seems the SA elects thread has sadly died.

But here's the fun part: while researching another project, I found that Landon gave a five-minute speech outlining his personal beliefs on Edward R. Murrow's This I believe program in the 1950s.

Give it a listen. The guy actually seems pretty cool for being the greatest loser in US presidential history.

Here's mine:

The theory behind this map is that Trump's support with non-college educated white voters pushes him over the edge in the second district in Maine and the whole of Iowa. It's a close race in Ohio and North Carolina, but Hillary wins by less than a point in each. Increased Hispanic turnout, along with a shift to the Democrats relative to 2012, is decisive in Nevada, North Carolina, and Florida. Georgia, Arizona, and Texas are surprisingly close, though not seriously in play by election day. The biggest surprise will be that Hillary performs better among white college-educated voters than Donald Trump, which hasn't happened since polling began to give us that information in 1952.

The vote will be very close in Nevada, Iowa, Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina, which will keep the election from being called until late in the evening, but will ultimately prove to be a decisive win in the electoral college. There'll be a lot of grousing on right-leaning media about recounts in critical states, but by the end of the night, even if there are recounts in a couple states, it won't have a material effect on the outcome and will only be a question of the margin of Hillary's victory in the electoral college.
