MattyN Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Third Party Battle 2004 See who's on top for the major third party candidates for President: Nader, Badnarik, Peroutka, Cobb (That's in order of how much of the popular vote they each got in 2004). I haven't started anything and I'm not sure if I'll have to time to make it, but I figured I'd toss it out there as an idea in case anyone else wanted to try it up. I had ideas on how to break down the vote: Take the % of the vote normally allocated to each major party and divide as so: 20% Repub - Nader 40% Repub - Constitution 40% Repub - Libertarian 20% Demo - Libertarian 40% Demo - Green 40% Demo - Nader Whatever additional percentages could be broken down state by state, giving boosts to say the Greens in VT, the Libertarians in NV, the CP in South Carolina, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonvallee Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 MattyN, if you plan to do this really (and it does sound interesting), I've just created an excel spreadsheet that can redistribute party support like you wanted and give a nice electorate_trends.p4e file simply by copy-paste. I've actually already done the file and tested it. At the beginning, it gives nationally: Nader 29% 247 EV (including Texas!) Constituion 17% 0 EV Libertarian 26% 20 EV (Kansas, Indiana and Wyoming) Green 17% 0 EV 271 EV in toss-up States. If you want to, give me an e-mail and I'll send the .p4e file and, if you ask for it, the excel spreadsheet (with explications). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonvallee Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 He made an algorithm to re-distribute votes that give out what's actually a small advance for Nader over Libertarians. I think it's because I gave Nader all the votes for the Independant candidate in the original scenario, and that gives him a few points more than Libertarians.

MattyN Posted November 13, 2004 Author Share Posted November 13, 2004 Wow, awesome. Send me along the p4e file to newmam2_at_rpi.edu remove the _at_ and replace with @ I don't always trust leaving my email address out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonvallee Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 You could have simply PMed me your email... oh well, sending the p4e right now. Do you want also the Excel file, so that you may change it somewhat in case you want to modify your redistribution of the vote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyN Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Teaser: The scenario's being worked on so far...and as expected Nader comes out on top if I do NOTHING with all the three candidates. It is possible to swing states with any of the candidates. I've already added in some additional candidates and plan to add more. Libertarian: Charles Jay Gary Nolan Howard Stern (Borrowed from the excellent "The Wedge" Scenario). More Green candidates will be added and probably a few new Constitution Party candidates.

MattyN Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Teaser 2: http://www.picturevillage.com/photo/data/d...932_p252191.png I'm basically done with the file, I'm gonna send it along to Tony soon, of course giving full credit to my partner in crime simonvallee. Candidates range from Ralph Nader to Michael Peroutka to Michael Badnarik to Charles Jay to Jason West. At least 3 candidates for each party sans Independent, (Nader's the only one there crazy enough). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
