Bitter Choices: A MotP Variant for 2012
|
2012 Bitter Choices.xlsx 52 KB
This file allows you to simulate the 2012 US Presidential Election using 1960: The Making of the President. Rules and cards are about the same, though there are some changes to take account of media power and the shift of the Civil Rights Issue into a broader issue of Culture Wars. Electoral votes are updated to 2012, and the starting support and edges are taken from election data at RealClearPolitics.com.
It has been fun to see how the battlegrounds will play out in 2012. I hope you enjoy playing the game this way!

Another Excel Electoral Counter
|
freds counter for kennedy nixon v1.1.xls 186 KB
Here's a "prettied-up" version in Excel.
This one even applies the Unpledged Electors card.
Click the buttons next to a state if a candidate has support there.
Click the buttons next to "Endorsed" if a candidate has an endorsement there. (Gray numbers next to the endorsement, show how many electoral votes are currently being allocated because of the endorsement, or if no endorsement, because of the color on the board).
Click the "Unpledged Electoral Event" if it is put in play. Boxes will then appear letting you click on Al, LA and MS if Kennedy has 4 or more support in them.
It is saved with the starting values. If you save after changing things, you'll have to re set the starting values by clicking on the appropriate states.
Depending on your monitor size, you may need to change the zoom value. The whole thing should fit pretty easily, so you don't have to scroll.
Sorry about the "macro" message that may appear, the use of the buttons causes that.
v1.1. Fixes 2 minor errors: Original incorrectly gave message that election goes to the House of Representatives if no one had 270 votes, that has been corrected to 269 as was the correct number in 1960. Also original had the wrong states buttons already pressed in the East when first loaded.
