King_Tilden 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2017 I'm surprised no one has tackled this yet (Searched both here and the 270soft download site). This one looks to be a fun one to simulate (By virtue of MN Independence Barkley's OK showing, and the infamous closeness), and MN hasn't really been tackled that much in general in Infinity. County vote totals: http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=2008&fips=27&f=0&off=3&elect=0&class=2 Any thoughts? Phase: Pre-Alpha Done: Set Map Description Listed Endorsers, News Need to do: Set up people (Preferably Coleman, Franken and Barkley first) Timeline County-by-county Thumbnails If time permits: Primary candidates Aldrich/Niemacki What-ifs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Gubernatorial Elections would interest me more, especially the ones when Jesse Ventura and then Tim Penny Minnesota Independence Party candidates.

I may be getting old, @Reagan04, but a cutting edge, immediately recent or on the horizon election isn't all that interest me in these scenarios, or even usually so.

King_Tilden 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2017 @Reagan04 @Patine While there have been many interesting Gov races over the years ('16 NC, '15 KY, '14 MD, '13 VA are some good recent ones), what inclines me toward MN Senate '08 (And close senate ones in general), is that Gov races are over-represented in the fan-made scenarios, and there are some good Senate runs out there (i.e. '16 PA, '14 NC, '10 DE (if Castle had actually won) '98 NV, '74 NH seems awfully tempting) that haven't seen the light of day.

Well, that is fine too, Washington Gubernatorial 2004 was awfully close, one of the closest in American History. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will admit that nowadays I prefer U.S. Senate scenarios to be all the seats up for election in that year by CI. That's not condemning others' work, just my personal preference.

I have the logos on hand of the DFL, MN Independence, and the official logo of the Minnesota affiliate of the GOP (and their Green and Libertarian affilates, for that matter). I had gathered then for some planned Gubernatorial elections at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King_Tilden 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2017 Moving Primaries to If Time Permits: 1. Hard to find much info on them 2. Let's face it, I doubt anyone would want to play a Erickson Vs Shepard Vs Dahn run on purpose. Besides, there is a reason that Keith Russel Judd isn't in many 2012 PI or PF maps. 3. If/When I do make them, they would have downright ABYSMAL stats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
