User blog:JCC the Alternate Historian/States the Republicans Won in Joe Steele (Guesses and Speculation)

In Joe Steele (both the novel and the short story), we obviously already know that Joe Steele would win his six presidential elections by landslide margins. However, we don't always know how many electoral votes and states his rivals got in the elections. So far, going by both the short story and novel, we already know some of the results for the loosing candidates in the six elections. They are:
 * In 1932, Herbert Hoover wins 59 electoral votes from the six states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Vermont. The short story mentions the states he won but the novel doesn't go into much detail on that. However, we should assume that Hoover still won the same states as he did in both the short story and OTL.
 * In 1936, Alf Landon wins eight electoral votes from the two states of Maine and Vermont. Same electoral results as OTL.
 * Neither Wendell Willkie in 1940 or Thomas Dewey in 1944 have any states the mentioned carrying (assuming they won any state, that is).
 * In 1948, Harold Stassen is mentioned of carrying Maine, Vermont, Delaware, Maryland, and several other states that contained resettled wreckers.
 * In 1952, Robert Taft is mentioned of carrying Ohio and a few other unmentioned states.

Since we already know what states Hoover and Landon carried in 1932 and 1936, we just have to figure out what states Willkie and Dewey carried in 1940 and 1944 while also finding out what other states Stassen and Taft won in 1948 and 1952. --JCC the Alternate Historian (talk) 13:35, June 16, 2018 (UTC)
