The 1992 Electoral Map in my Bush/Perot Scenario in the Infobox Thread
Teaser for my Anthony Wayne TL (in signature). I'm pretty happy with how this turned out but am open to critique! The point was to get a hung electoral college in 1796, which was harder to do than I thought!
With talk of enlarging the Dutch lower house, I thought I'd see at what that might look like in combination with provincial constituencies. Here's the most recent election using a Danish-inspired electoral system with 185 seats apportioned among thirteen constituencies, as well as 40 nationwide levelling seats. This would make for a total of 225 seats (which, for some inexplicable reason, I find a very aesthetically pleasing number).
The levelling seats manage to make the total seat distribution almost entirely proportional; only the CDA has one "overhang seat".

Donald Trump/Oprah Winfrey (Reform): 181 Electoral Votes, 37.4% Popular Vote
George W. Bush/Dick Cheney (Republican): 191 Electoral Votes 33.1% Popular Vote
Al Gore/Joe Lieberman (Democratic): 165 Electoral Votes 29.2% Popular Vote
Decided by House of Representatives: Reform Win.
The Brazilian legislative elections except I changed some things in an attempt to see what Brazilian politics might look like if it were a little more, well, normal. I reduced the size of the Chamber of Deputies to a more satisfying 500 and reapportioned the seats among federative units in a way that's still slightly regressive but not nearly as disproportional as IOTL. Most importantly, I consolidated the party system based on support for presidential candidates.
Alternate Argentine Presidential Election of 1880 in my WTLB TL. That extra chunk of territory in the north is part of the Gran Chaco region.
Here's the direktmandate map for the 1951 German election in this wikibox I just made. Credit to AJRElectionMaps for the Germany basemaps, for the West I just used the 1949 boundaries and for the East I used their district map from 1990 and redrew the boundaries based on (very rough estimations of!) the population distribution circa 1950. For those curious about the seat numbers:
SPD: 213
CDU/CSU: 89
FDP: 13
BP: 12
DP: 3
KPD: 2
Independents: 4
Of course, this being Germany the proportional votes biases heavily enough against the SPD to prevent it having an absolute majority in the Bundestag on only about 45% of the vote. I don't know how to calculate the specifics of that, but yeah.

Who gets into the Congressional consideration? Should be the top five vote-getters, so I presume it's John Adams, Jefferson, Pickney, Burr, and Samuel Adams.
I believe it will be Adams, Jefferson, Wayne, Pinckney, and Burr. Might have to relook at this as I get closer to writing that update in the TL.
If it helps, the system at the time had electors cast two votes for President, which is how you got Adams-Jefferson, as neither party, except Hamilton, wanted the intended VP candidate to tie or pass the intense POTUS candidate and so there were a bunch of thrown second votes. The "138 electoral votes" you see on Wikipedia is in the modern parlance, when actually 276 total votes were cost. Adams 1 elector in Virginia was from a Jefferson-Adams elector, and South Carolina IOTL voted for Jefferson-Pinckney. So you'll want to account for who the electors as casting their first and second votes for to see if Wayne gets enough electoral votes to make the Top 5.
Looking at your map, and assuming 2nd votes are as IOTL, the top 5 is J Adams, Jefferson, Pinckney, S Adams. The best way to get Anthony Wayne into the Top 5 is to have him get more 2nd votes than Samuel Adams.
