Confederate States Presidential Election, 1939 (Southern Victory)

The Confederate States presidential election of 1939 saw the re-election of incumbent Jake Featherston as president of the Confederate States of America. The Whig Party and the Radical Liberal Party, while still being permitted to exist, never had a chance of removing the Freedom Party from its well-entrenched dominance of Confederate society.

The Fall Campaign
The campaign was dominated by Featherston speaking to the public on the radio, as well as slanted ads put out by the Department of Communications. The Whigs and Radical Liberals, with much of their members driven underground or under arrest in concentration camps, had almost zero visibility on the airwaves, in the press, or on the streets, all of which were dominated by the Freedom Party.

Results
Featherston won every state in the Confederacy. Thanks to Freedom Party practices of dominating the voting booths with stalwarts and the vote count, the Whigs lost the remaining seats they had in the Confederate Congress. With a total victory coming out of the rigged election, Featherston could put more focus on his foreign policies; soon after taking the oath of office for the second time on March 4, 1940, he would reimpose conscription and work out the Richmond Agreement with US president Al Smith. Not long after that event, on June 22, 1941, the Second Great War broke out when Featherston ordered the invasion of the USA.
