United States Presidential Election, 1940

Harry Turtledove has depicted two versions of the United States Presidential election of the year 1940.


 * The 1940 election as depicted in the Southern Victory series, in which Socialist incumbent Al Smith defeated challenger Democrat Robert Taft.


 * The 1940 election as depicted in the short story "Joe Steele", in which Democrat incumbent Joe Steele defeated Republican challenger Wendell Willkie.

Aside from these two specific versions, most Turtledove works feature a point of departure after 1940, and so the 1940 election in those works is identical to OTL.
