Introduction
This is a revision of the United States presidential election of 2012.
This is another revamped election, particularly in that the candidates for president have been replaced. On one side, Mitt Romney is replaced by incumbent President Alan Keyes (who wins the 2008 presidential election). On another side, President Keyes is challenged by an undetermined opponent, in place of Barack Obama, President in the current version of history.
In the current timeline or version of history, it is uncommon knowledge that the original republic of the United States of America went bankrupt following the American Civil War; following this, in 1871, President Ulysses S. Grant made a deal with the British Crown and the Rothschild bankers in London, forming the Corporation of the United States of America, under the control of the Crown and the Rothschilds. Following this scenario, President Keyes dissolves the corporation in 2009, becoming the entity’s last president, and the 19th President of the restored Republic of the United States (after Presidents George Washington to Ulysses S. Grant). By 2012, most mainstream Democrats left over from the days of the corporation are either in federal prison or dead by execution for treason. Keyes has been super-popular with the American people, especially since becoming a candidate for President in 2008, so with that in mind, the president is well on his way to being reelected by another monumental landslide.
In the November election, President Keyes defeats his undetermined opponents in an even bigger landslide than in 2008, with Keyes receiving almost 78% of the popular vote. His nearest opponent has 20.2%, for a victory margin of close to 58 percentage points. Keyes wins all 50 states by double digits as he had done in 2008; and additionally, the District of Columbia (AKA Washington, DC) is flipped in Keyes’ favor, with the president winning the district by a 9 percentage point margin. This makes the 2012 election an electoral unanimity not seen since George Washington was reelected President in 1792!
The revised election below is organized state-by-state in alphabetical order, for a total of 50 states plus the District of Columbia.

Notes
- I must admit I’m not sure if the corporation in current history is going to work out in the next version of history, since with the changes by way of my previous alternate history entries, the United States may very well be a more developed nation, and we might have a very different history unfolding as a result. But you never know…
- I’ve decided to stop at this presidential election without moving on to elections following this one. With that in mind, you might be wondering, who will succeed Alan Keyes as President?
- One might be thinking Vice President Joe Arpaio (previously Sheriff of Maricopa county, Arizona from 1993 to 2009), who serves both terms under President Keyes from 2009 to 2017, but since Arpaio was born in 1932 (making him 84 in 2016), he wouldn’t be a logical choice to succeed Keyes. The U.S. Presidency was always (and always will be) a tough occupation to handle, and it would be especially tough for a man well into his 80s. So Vice President Arpaio decides to retire with President Keyes.
- I had originally considered Donald Trump, who was first elected President in this timeline in 2016. Then I had my doubts, thinking that he wouldn’t have run for President if it weren’t for Obama. But now Trump is back in the picture, because of all the good he’s done for the U.S., and also because the U.S. military in this timeline had considered Trump for President long before 2016 rolled around; and even before Obama came into the picture. It turns out Trump was a military plant to become President, bankrupt the U.S. Corporation, reconstitute the restored American republic, and reform the world for the better. Now, I can hardly imagine a U.S. without Trump as President. With the transition from the Corporation to the restored republic occurring under President Keyes, Trump might as well continue Keyes’ legacy; so President Trump it is! Who will Trump pick for his running mate in 2016? Certainly not Mike Pence, a Deep Stater who betrayed Trump in this timeline. So instead of Pence, I’m thinking John F. Kennedy Jr. (AKA JFK Jr., “John John”), son of the original President John F. Kennedy (1917-1963).
- As I’ve explained in my revised 2008 presidential election post, JFK Jr. never leaves the picture in my revised history. Here, he has either not been in a 1999 plane crash, or not been forced into hiding by the Deep State faking the plane crash. The Reagan era of the 1980s renders the Deep State severely weakened and the corporation cleared of a lot of corruption occurring between 1871 and 1981, enabling Kennedy Jr. to pursue a career in politics and rise to influence and power as U.S. Senator of New York State from 2001 to 2013.
