Continuing Thande's theme of boosted third-party performance. Here's TR with all of the states that he won at least 20% in (plus the ones he really won) in 1912.
Wallace nearly took NC IOTL.The 1968 election where George Wallace won all states where he got at least 20% of the vote. Since there isn't a winner, the election gets thrown to the House. I can imagine the result of the election fuels a major anti-Electoral College movement and possibly the Bayh-Celler Amendment getting passed.
Wallace nearly took NC IOTL.
Here's a challenge for anyone that wants to attempt it: what would 1964 look like if the Republican nominee was pro-Civil Rights Act? (Rockefeller, maybe?)
Here's something a bit different. OTL's loser wins all states he lost by a margin under 10%...with some interesting results.
2008:
Obama/Biden (D): 237
McCain/Palin (R): 301
.
Hey, I also did 1984 and 1964 as well...More with the 10% adjustment.

Bush/Quayle (R): 258
Dukakis/Bentsen (D): 280

1980:
