== Introduction ==

{{ProConTable|width=100
| intro = [[file:CandidateFace GeorgeWBush.png|50px]] '''George W. Bush''' is a former president with experience, and campaigning credentials
|pros=
* '''Hyper Stamina''': George W. Bush will have no problem setting up and rearing to go, allowing him to stay ahead of the game, and in top condition.
* '''Engaging Charisma''': Inspiring voters will not be a hard feat, not only will 3 speeches in a single turn be a viable prospect, but it will matter when changing the pendulum on the issues that matter the most.
* '''Media Likability''': Getting ads spread out, and in time will be critical towards being in control of the media narrative and bridging the gaps in enthusiasm, allowing George Bush a crucial cornerstone in navigating the map.
|cons=
* '''Troublesome Issue Scores''': Not only will the map work towards your disadvantage, but climbing the gauntlet necessary to convince voters you're up to the task will be one of the foremost challenges as George Bush attempts to mount his campaign.
* '''Basic Intelligence''': George W. Bush's intelligence will hurt him on the political capital front, and will mean he will need to invest in building Networking HQs and connections to make up for potential campaign deficit.
}}

== Stamina Attributes ==
In a single turn Bush can do:
*Up to 13 movements in a single turn.
*Up to 3 Speeches with 1 stamina point leftover.

== Introduction ==

{{ProConTable|width=100
| intro = [[file:CandidateFace JohnKerry.png|50px]] '''John Kerry''' is a calculated campaigner and modest individual whose strengths show with long-term planning and smart execution.
|pros=
* '''Hyper Stamina''': Like many candidates, Kerry's tenacity and dedication will show on the campaign trail as he sets up headquarters and plans for the long and arduous road ahead. This will be necessary in a manner similar to [[Ted Cruz]] as his behind the scenes know-how will shine above his individual presence.
* '''Expert Political Savvy''': John Kerry's strengths are most evident in his ability to foment and change the political medium with as many options predisposed to him at all times, meaning he will have no problem concocting the perfect synergy of strategies at a moment's notice given enough political capital.
* '''Issue Scores''': Kerry's issue scores will punch above his weight giving him a stronger start than most other candidates. This will especially help for winning competitive contests, as long as he manages to get past the issues that comes when generating awareness.
|cons=
* '''Media Bias''': The advertising ground-game won't be anything to scoff at, and will have Kerry lagging behind other candidates over the long term, making careful planning a crucial cornerstone of his campaigning.
* '''Personable Campaigning''': Kerry's speeches won't go above and beyond to inspire crowds, and will be just enough to get the job done, with 2 speeches a turn at your disposal, it will do the bare minimum of what is expected on the campaign trail.

== Introduction ==

{{ProConTable|width=100
| intro = [[file:CandidateFace MartinOMalley.png|50px]] '''Martin O'Malley''' is an ideal campaigner for those looking for an unsuspecting choice to make their mark on the political scene.
|pros=
* '''Hyper Stamina''': A staple of many campaign cornerstones, hyper stamina will allow the candidate to venture from state to state making inroads and planning campaign infrastructure in a dynamic manner, allowing for maximum flexibility on the campaign trail.
* '''Loved Media Bias''': A relatively uncommon trait, the loved media bias attribute will allow O'Malley to incur only 2 stamina points when placing ads, allowing for rapid-aggression on the campaign front, while fomenting incredibly strong tides when keeping your opponent on their toes.
* '''All-Rounder''': From above-average charisma, strong media bias, as well as the inclusion of good stamina attributes will mean O'Malley will come well equipped to use every campaign tool to his benefit no matter what it takes.
|cons=
* '''Average Intelligence''': Generally sub-standard intelligence for a politician may mean that O'Malley will not be able to rely on himself to make the connections necessary to get cards played as soon as he may want.
* '''Average Experience''': Not only will cards have to be discarded, but O'Malley will need to set up Networking HQs to avert his political capital issues, as the hand limit will act as a wall faster than his more experienced counterparts.
* '''Frugal Funds''': When starting of the campaign, O'Malley will have to build his campaign from the ground-up financially, as his start into the race will take more investment and resources than his contemporary peers.
}}

== Stamina Attributes ==
In a single turn O'Malley can do:
*Up to 13 movements in a single turn.
*Up to 3 Speeches in a single turn with 1 stamina point leftover.
*Up to 6 Advertisements in a single turn with 1 stamina point leftover.
*Up to 3 HQ Upgrades in a single turn with 1 stamina point leftover.

== Issue Stances ==
Issue stances affect how well a candidate will be received across various states. Changes in some issue stances may help in one state but hurt in another. Overall, they average out to give a general consensus of how your candidate is received, having a direct link to your electability across the board.

== Introduction ==

{{ProConTable|width=100
| intro = [[file:CandidateFace JimmyCarter.png|50px]] '''Jimmy Carter''' is a uniquely southern and compassionate voice who will not disappoint those looking for a more measured approach towards the White House.
|pros=
* '''Hyper Stamina''': One of the more unique attributes to the Carter campaign will starting issue scores that give him the leg up on issues from energy, to law enforcement, pertinent social issues & empathy, with a touch of agricultural & business demeanors to create a unique coalition as he works his way up to the white house.
* '''Hyper Stamina''': Like certain candidates, Carter is a fierce campaigner and will be working overtime to connect to his country with hyper stamina.
* '''Presidential Experience''': As a former president, Carter will have all the political know-how and tools necessary to convince operatives he's up for the job.
|cons=
* '''Average Charisma''': While many politicians may be used to connecting with voters, Carter will only be able to achieve the baseline when it comes to connecting with voters. His charisma isn't anything too much to scoff at, and won't be the primary focus of his campaign, as he makes a personable appeal to voters.
* '''Slow Start''': When starting of the campaign, Carter will have to build his campaign from the ground-up financially from his humble peanut farm and Georgian roots when running his campaign.

== Introduction ==

{{ProConTable|width=100
| intro = [[file:CandidateFace JimmyCarter.png|50px]] '''Jimmy Carter''' is a uniquely southern and compassionate voice who will not disappoint those looking for a more measured approach towards the White House.
|pros=
* '''Hyper Stamina''': One of the more unique attributes to the Carter campaign will starting issue scores that give him the leg up on issues from energy, to law enforcement, pertinent social issues & empathy, with a touch of agricultural & business demeanors to create a unique coalition as he works his way up to the white house.
* '''Hyper Stamina''': Like certain candidates, Carter is a fierce campaigner and will be working overtime to connect to his country with hyper stamina.
* '''Presidential Experience''': As a former president, Carter will have all the political know-how and tools necessary to convince operatives he's up for the job.
|cons=
* '''Average Charisma''': While many politicians may be used to connecting with voters, Carter will only be able to achieve the baseline when it comes to connecting with voters. His charisma isn't anything too much to scoff at, and won't be the primary focus of his campaign, as he makes a personable appeal to voters.
* '''Slow Start''': When starting of the campaign, Carter will have to build his campaign from the ground-up financially from his humble peanut farm and Georgian roots when running his campaign.

A deck for the republican that doesn't support the entrenched establishment and looks to shake things up.<br>
}}

The Outsider Deck is the perfect set of cards for anyone that is looking to build an extensive ground game that put enthusiasm and outreach first, with smaller forms of cash drives, as well as the ability to meet the temperament of antiquated politicking second.

This card set was introduced as part of the original playtest alongside several other essential card sets on February 21st, 2024 (see: [[Patch Notes#0.82|Patch Notes]]).

== Introduction ==

{{ProConTable|width=100
| intro = [[file:OutsiderRepublican.png|50px]] The '''Outsider Republican''' is an appealing choice for those that want to have a plentiful ground game, and keep their opponents on the edge.
|pros=
* '''Amazing Enthusiasm Cards''': When it comes to raising, or in the case of the Outsider deck, taking away enthusiasm, this will be the best choice to excel on that front. Not only are there 6 different enthusiasm focused cards to play from, but Expert Intimidators, Petition Teams, and the Party Radical are Outsider Deck particulars that can passively alter the trajectory of the map. Not only will the opponent be wasting more Fixers and Mavericks than usual, but lest your enemy is [[Drain the Swamp]], or the [[Faith Educator]], the ground game potential will be enormous.
* '''Republican Hardliners''': Comparatively, [[Hardliner|Hardliners]] will be key towards shifting states anywhere from 5 to 10 points in a single swoop when placed down. Making them among the strongest issue operatives in the entire game.
|cons=
* '''Weakest Political Capital Gain''': With only one [[Lobbyist]] to spare, getting the PC advantage on opponents will be difficult, and require shelling out more stamina than what may be atypical in a single game. Covering for this problem area will be key towards equalizing the disadvantage.
}}

== Card Types ==

=== Issue Cards ===
One of the most expensive cards that can be played in the Outsider Republican deck is the Social Network Showdown card. Not only will it spread the issue drastically towards just one state, but it will affect adjacent states as well, influencing the preferred candidate of choice's issue score, and the voter's too. Giving the user lots of creative liberties in how they want to affect the map. Combine this with states that may take such issues highly into consideration, then there will be potent combos for single-handily affecting the outcomes of entire political races.

=== Enthusiasm ===
Unlike other decks which focus on raising enthusiasm, the Outsider Deck particularly comes equipped with only 1 celebrity endorsement, and no cheerleaders. However unlike every other deck, the player will have 4 intimidators to play with. Combine these Intimidator tactics with Petition Teams to raise and take away awareness, Party Radicals to create a run-off intimidation effect in near-by states, and [[Call Out Hypocrisy|Call Out Hypocrisies]] to produce an offensive awareness game that will have your opponent campaigning more than usual. Not only will an opponent need to generate 5% enthusiasm per turn to overcome an Expert Intimidator, but it will require significant stamina and money to counteract its effects, making them one of the most powerful cards in the Outsider's arsenal. Petition Teams in particular act like better intimidators and are a surefire way to allow for passive campaigning on the trail.

</div>

=== Defense ===
When it comes to countering problematic cards, getting a lock on the situation with Fixers and Maverick Reformers is pertinent to curbing your opponent's most valuable tools. The Bodyguard is one of the most important factors to prevent unwanted Political Capital or Enthusiasm loss throughout the campaign.
Keep note of how many Fixers and Maverick Reformers that may have been expended, as it will be important to space (or bait) them out should opponents use it as an opening to plop down endorsements, or other powerful cards that may give them a crucial opening.

=== Offense ===
Introduced as part of the Outsider Deck's arsenal are the Call Out Hypocrisy and Integrity Audits. When timed well, they can deny the opponent crucial time and stamina that would've been used to otherwise to cement their lead, turning the tables into catch-up. Alternatively to radicalizing your followers, players that use this deck can indulge in dedicated supporters to immediately add 2 points of stamina to get the lead, and get additional actions early on. Adding onto this array are the protesters, a disruptive
key-factor to target swing and primary states to mitigate the power of opponent's speeches.

=== Operatives ===
The operatives from the classic Political Machine series are here! Similarly to other decks in the game, the Outsider Deck in particular has a preferential focus on attacking the opponent through Smear Merchants. But that's not all, the Republican Hardliner card in particular is one of the most powerful cards in the game, capable of taking states such as [[Michigan]] and [[Illinois]], or turning the most purple states into red states. Because of its power to single-handily change the fate of elections, the opponent may opt to remove it on sight, savor it wisely!

=== Speeches ===
When it comes to getting the most out of your [[speeches]], you have 2 Stump Speech Experts to get the ball rolling. When played well, it can be used to increase your speed effectiveness by 50%. If you're a candidate with particularly problematic charisma such as [[Andrew Yang]], this is an effective way to make up for a lack of charisma should the opportunity ever arise.

=== Endorsements ===
When it comes to getting a boost across the map and bringing important issues to the top of the state table, with strong issue scores to boot, then these issue Endorsements will be your most crucial step towards affecting the state of the race. Opponents, players and AI included, will make high priority of these cards, so secure and time them wisely!

Particularly problematic to the deck may be the tackling of certain tough issues. When it comes to being an outsider, tough positions and stakes may be made. Which include tackling difficult issues such as abortion, and anti-unions. While they may help you in certain states, keep note as this temporary boost can turn into a long-term impasse as anti-Union positions can hurt the player in important states such as [[Ohio]].

=== Political Capital ===
Contrary to most decks in the game, the Outsider decks have the weakest Political Capital gain in the entire game. With only one Lobbyist, the chances of behind behind an opponent in Political Capital rises exponentially, especially when faced against Establishment decks. To counteract this, use candidates to build [[HQs#Political_Capital|Headquarters]] to avert this weakness immediately. Like any outsider, building a campaign from the ground-up is key to becoming elected.

<div style="display: flex;flex-wrap: wrap;">

=== Cash ===
When it comes to raising cash, 2 Event Coordinators will be the strongest tools in any Outsider's kit when it comes to getting the most out of your [[Fundraising|fundraisers]]. Stack it with a [[HQs#Money|Consulting Offices]] should you land one of these cards early in the game, to raise quick amounts of cash when combined with the Event Coordinator. Alternatively Donation Drives exist to give quick cash infusions, allowing campaign mobility no matter the trail.

A deck for the democrat that doesn't support the entrenched establishment and looks to shake things up.<br>
}}

The Outsider Deck is the perfect set of cards for anyone that is looking to build an extensive ground game that put enthusiasm and outreach first, with smaller forms of cash drives, as well as the ability to meet the temperament of antiquated politicking second.

This card set was introduced as part of the original playtest alongside several other essential card sets on February 21st, 2024 (see: [[Patch Notes#0.82|Patch Notes]]).

== Introduction ==

{{ProConTable|width=100
| intro = [[file:OutsiderDemocrat.png|50px]] The '''Outsider Democrat''' is an appealing choice for those that want to have a plentiful ground game, and keep their opponents on the edge.
|pros=
* '''Amazing Enthusiasm Cards''': When it comes to raising, or in the case of the Outsider deck, taking away enthusiasm, this will be the best choice to excel on that front. Not only are there 6 different enthusiasm focused cards to play from, but Expert Intimidators, Petition Teams, and the Party Dissident are Outsider Deck particulars that can passively alter the trajectory of the map. Not only will the opponent be wasting more Fixers and Mavericks than usual, but lest your enemy is [[Drain the Swamp]], or the [[Faith Educator]], the ground game potential will be enormous.
* '''Democratic Extremists''': Comparatively, [[Extremist|Extremists]] will be key towards shifting states anywhere from 5 to 10 points in a single swoop when placed down. Making them among the strongest issue operatives in the entire game.
|cons=
* '''Weakest Political Capital Gain''': With only one [[Lobbyist]] to spare, getting the PC advantage on opponents will be difficult, and require shelling out more stamina than what may be atypical in a single game. Covering for this problem area will be key towards equalizing the disadvantage.
}}

== Card Types ==

=== Issue Cards ===
One of the most expensive cards that can be played in the Outsider Democrat deck is the Expose Corporate Ties card. Not only will it spread the issue drastically towards just one state, but it will affect adjacent states as well, influencing the preferred candidate of choice's issue score, and the voter's too. Giving the user lots of creative liberties in how they want to affect the map. Combine this with states that may take such issues highly into consideration, then there will be potent combos for single-handily affecting the outcomes of entire political races.

=== Endorsements ===

Particularly problematic to the deck may be the tackling of certain tough issues. When it comes to being an outsider, tough positions and stakes may be made. Which include tackling difficult issues such as abortion, and clean energy. While they may help you in certain states, keep note as this temporary boost can turn into a long-term impasse as anti-Natural Oil and Gas positions can hurt the player in important states such as [[Texas]].

=== Political Capital ===
Contrary to most decks in the game, the Outsider decks have the weakest Political Capital gain in the entire game. With only one Lobbyist, the chances of behind behind an opponent in Political Capital rises exponentially, especially when faced against Establishment decks. To counteract this, use candidates to build [[HQs#Political_Capital|Headquarters]] to avert this weakness immediately. Like any outsider, building a campaign from the ground-up is key to becoming elected.

=== Cash ===
When it comes to raising cash, 2 Event Coordinators will be the strongest tools in any Outsider's kit when it comes to getting the most out of your [[Fundraising|fundraisers]]. Stack it with a [[HQs#Money|Consulting Offices]] should you land one of these cards early in the game, to raise quick amounts of cash when combined with the Event Coordinator. Alternatively Donation Drives exist to give quick cash infusions, allowing campaign mobility no matter the trail.

{{QuotationBox | margin = left | fontsize=1.5 |
A deck for the democrat that doesn't support the entrenched establishment and looks to shake things up.<br>
}}

The Outsider Deck is the perfect set of cards for anyone that is looking to build an extensive ground game that put enthusiasm and outreach first, with smaller forms of cash drives, as well as the ability to meet the temperament of antiquated politicking second.

This card set was introduced as part of the original playtest alongside several other essential card sets on February 21st, 2024 (see: [[Patch Notes#0.82|Patch Notes]]).

== Introduction ==

{{ProConTable|width=100
| intro = [[file:OutsiderDemocrat.png|50px]] The '''Outsider Democrat''' is an appealing choice for those that want to have a plentiful ground game, and keep their opponents on the edge.
|pros=
* '''Amazing Enthusiasm Cards''': When it comes to raising, or in the case of the Outsider deck, taking away enthusiasm, this will be the best choice to excel on that front. Not only are there 6 different enthusiasm focused cards to play from, but Expert Intimidators, Petition Teams, and the Party Dissident are Outsider Deck particulars that can passively alter the trajectory of the map. Not only will the opponent be wasting more Fixers and Mavericks than usual, but lest your enemy is [[Drain the Swamp]], or the [[Faith Educator]], the ground game potential will be enormous.
* '''Democratic Extremists''': Comparatively, [[Extremist|Extremists]] will be key towards shifting states anywhere from 5 to 10 points in a single swoop when placed down. Making them among the strongest issue operatives in the entire game.
|cons=
* '''Weakest Political Capital Gain''': With only one [[Lobbyist]] to spare, getting the PC advantage on opponents will be difficult, and require shelling out more stamina than what may be atypical in a single game. Covering for this problem area will be key towards equalizing the disadvantage.
}}

== Card Types ==

=== Issue Cards ===
One of the most expensive cards that can be played in the Outsider Democrat deck is the Expose Corporate Ties card. Not only will it spread the issue drastically towards just one state, but it will affect adjacent states as well, influencing the preferred candidate of choice's issue score, and the voter's too. Giving the user lots of creative liberties in how they want to affect the map. Combine this with states that may take such issues highly into consideration, then there will be potent combos for single-handily affecting the outcomes of entire political races.

</span>
</div>

=== Enthusiasm ===
Unlike other decks which focus on raising enthusiasm, the Outsider Deck particularly comes equipped with only 1 celebrity endorsement, and no cheerleaders. However unlike every other deck, the player will have 4 intimidators to play with. Combine these Intimidator tactics with Petition Teams to raise and take away awareness, Party Dissidents to create a run-off intimidation effect in near-by states, and [[Call Out Hypocrisy|Call Out Hypocrisies]] to produce an offensive awareness game that will have your opponent campaigning more than usual. Not only will an opponent need to generate 5% enthusiasm per turn to overcome an Expert Initimidator, but it will require significant stamina and money to counteract its effects, making them one of the most powerful cards in the Outsider's arsenal. Petition Teams in particular act like better intimidators and are a surefire way to allow for passive campaigning on the trail.

=== Defense ===
When it comes to countering problematic cards, getting a lock on the situation with Fixers and Maverick Reformers is pertinent to curbing your opponent's most valuable tools. The Bodyguard is one of the most important factors to prevent unwanted Political Capital or Enthusiasm loss throughout the campaign.
Keep note of how many Fixers and Maverick Reformers that may have been expended, as it will be important to space (or bait) them out should opponents use it as an opening to plop down endorsements, or other powerful cards that may give them a crucial opening.

=== Offense ===
Introduced as part of the Outsider Deck's arsenal are the Call Out Hypocrisy and Radicalize Media Followers cards. When timed well, they can deny the opponent crucial time and stamina that would've been used to otherwise to cement their lead, turning the tables into catch-up. Alternatively to radicalizing your followers, players that use this deck can indulge in energetic supporters to immediately add 2 points of stamina to get the lead, and get additional actions early on. Adding onto this array are the protesters, a disruptive
key-factor to target swing and primary states to mitigate the power of opponent's speeches.

=== Operatives ===
The operatives from the classic Political Machine series are here! Similarly to other decks in the game, the Outsider Deck in particular has a preferential focus on attacking the opponent through Smear Merchants. But that's not all, the Democratic Extremist card in particular is one of the most powerful cards in the game, capable of taking states such as [[Texas]] and [[Florida]], or turning the most purple states into blue states. Because of its power to single-handily change the fate of elections, the opponent may opt to remove it on sight, savor it wisely!

=== Speeches ===
When it comes to getting the most out of your [[speeches]], you have 2 Stump Speech Experts to get the ball rolling. When played well, it can be used to increase your speed effectiveness by 50%. If you're a candidate with particularly problematic charisma such as [[Andrew Yang]], this is an effective way to make up for a lack of charisma should the opportunity ever arise.

</span>

=== Endorsements ===
When it comes to getting a boost across the map and bringing important issues to the top of the state table, with strong issue scores to boot, then these issue Endorsements will be your most crucial step towards affecting the state of the race. Opponents, players and AI included, will make high priority of these cards, so secure and time them wisely!

Particularly problematic to the deck may be the tackling of certain tough issues. When it comes to being an outsider, tough positions and stakes may be made. Which include tackling difficult issues such as abortion, and clean energy. While they may help you in certain states, keep note as this temporary boost can turn into a long-term impasse as anti-Natural Oil and Gas positions can hurt the player in important states such as [[Texas]].

=== Operatives ===
The operatives from the classic Political Machine series are here! Similarly to other decks in the game, the Outsider Deck in particular has a preferential focus on attacking the opponent through Smear Merchants. But that's not all, the Democratic Extremist card in particular is one of the most powerful cards in the game, capable of taking states such as [[Texas]] and [[Florida]], or turning the most purple states into blue states. Because of its power to single-handily change the fate of elections, the opponent may opt to remove it on sight, savor it wisely!

=== Speeches ===
When it comes to getting the most out of your [[speeches]], you have 2 Stump Speech Experts to get the ball rolling. When played well, it can be used to increase your speed effectiveness by 50%. If you're a candidate with particularly problematic charisma such as [[Andrew Yang]], this is an effective way to make up for a lack of charisma should the opportunity ever arise.

=== Endorsements ===
When it comes to getting a boost across the map and bringing important issues to the top of the state table, with strong issue scores to boot, then these issue Endorsements will be your most crucial step towards affecting the state of the race. Opponents, players and AI included, will make high priority of these cards, so secure and time them wisely!

Particularly problematic to the deck may be the tackling of certain tough issues. When it comes to being an outsider, tough positions and stakes may be made. Which include tackling difficult issues such as abortion, and clean energy. While they may help you in certain states, keep note as this temporary boost can turn into a long-term impasse as anti-Natural Oil and Gas positions can hurt the player in important states such as [[Texas]].

=== Political Capital ===
Contrary to most decks in the game, the Outsider decks have the weakest Political Capital gain in the entire game. With only one Lobbyist, the chances of behind behind an opponent in Political Capital rises exponentially, especially when faced against Establishment decks. To counteract this, use candidates to build [[HQs#Political_Capital|Headquarters]] to avert this weakness immediately. Like any outsider, building a campaign from the ground-up is key to becoming elected.

<div style="display: flex;flex-wrap: wrap;">
<span id="Lobbyist">

=== Cash ===
When it comes to raising cash, 2 Event Coordinators will be the strongest tools in any Outsider's kit when it comes to getting the most out of your [[Fundraising|fundraisers]]. Stack it with a [[HQs#Money|Consulting Offices]] should you land one of these cards early in the game, to raise quick amounts of cash when combined with the Event Coordinator. Alternatively Donation Drives exist to give quick cash infusions, allowing campaign mobility no matter the trail.

Vielle: got some good progress on this

Presidential Elections are the default mode of the Political Machine universe. Unlike most democracies, and republics, the votes cast in states are assigned directly to electors in what is known as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College| Electoral College]. Simply put, there are 538 electoral votes, scattered across 50 different states, with the rather notorious threshold of 270 to win. With the rather poignant exception should both candidates hit 269-269 electoral votes, in which case neither candidate will win.

Each state's electoral vote is calculated by the amount of representatives + senators that are present in their congressional delegation.

The Presidential Election mode covers everything from starting up a campaign, to closing night on election day. By default when starting a campaign, the candidate will have $2,000,000 to boot, and a level 1 campaign [[Main_Page/HQs#Campaign_Headquarters|HQ]] in their home state of choice.

[[File:ElectoralCollege2024.png|thumb|upright=1.35|The Electoral College map, as seen under the Votes overlay.]]

== Unique Features ==

Unique to the Presidential Mode is the [[Debates]] feature, with changes in issue scores and enthusiasm across the board depending on what answer the candidate may exhibit.

Certain differences from presidential elections versus primaries include:
*Elections being conducted at the end of the electoral process in what may be described as one fell swoop.
*2 candidates instead of 4
*The ability to pick running mates that will go around the map giving speeches

== Settings ==

When creating a game, there are several Advanced Options to work from. They are listed as follows

=== Game Length ===
The number of turns in the game.

Longer games tend to reward long term planning and strategy, while shorter games favor efficient use of stamina and maximizing short term benefit. One turn typically takes around 2-5 minutes.

*Quick (21 Weeks)
*Normal (28 Weeks)
*Long (41 Weeks)
*Epic (52 Weeks)

=== Starting Funds ===
The amount of Money each candidate begins the game with.

More money will allow for less restrictive use of [[Ads]] and [[Main_Page/HQs|Headquarters]], while less money will mean players need to build up wealth before spending it.

*50%
*100%
*150%
*200%

=== Debate Frequency ===
The number of Debates in a Presidential Game.

Debates are not available in Primaries mode. Debates give an opportunity to gain national benefits over your opponent, more debates will allow players greater influence on the national stage.

*None
*1
*2
*3

=== Random Events ===
The frequency of Random [[Events]] occurring in game.

Some random events are country-wide and affect issues and candidates, others appera as '?' icons on the map and can be visited for a bonus.

*None (No events will occur this game.)
*Half ('?' Events will occur every <strong>4 turns</strong> starting on Week 3. There will be 1 country-wide event.)
*Normal ('?' Events will occur every <strong>2 turns</strong> starting on Week 3. There will be 2 country-wide event.)
*Double ('?' Events will occur every <strong>3 turns</strong> starting on Week 3. There will be 4 country-wide event.)

=== Randomize Issues ===
The degree randomization of issue importance nationwide.

Issues will have their importances partially randomized at the beginning of the game. This can cause certain issues you may not normally see to play a critical part in an election, but can produce unbalanced games, particularly in Presidential Mode.

*None
*Some Randomness
*Very Random

=== Randomize States ===
The statue values that will be randomized.

The chosen state values will be partially randomized at the beginning of the game. This can lead to states being more important in the election than they otherwise would be, or states being easier or harder to win for certain parties. However, it can produce unbalanced games, particularly in Presidential Mode.

*None
*Electoral Votes
*Fundraising Data
*Political Parties
*Randomize All

== Electoral Compromises ==
There are however some compromises in how the system is represented contrary to real-life. One particular aspect includes how D.C.'s electoral votes under the Twenty-third Amendment are represented, with D.C.'s EVs being divvied up between [[Maryland]] and [[Virginia]]. With Virginia in particular receiving 2 extra electoral votes, and Maryland being allocated one extra electoral vote.

Unlike the broad winner-take-all systems of other states, Nebraska and Maine use congressional district electoral systems to allocate their electoral votes. This however is not present in The Political Machine.

{{QuotationBox | margin = left | fontsize=1 |
"The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves."}}

Unlike the problem present when two candidates from the same home state are being cast for President and Vice President, this is not an issue in The Political Machine. Such a problem presented itself in the 2000 election with [[George W. Bush]] and Dick Cheney residing in the same home state. To avoid nullifying electoral votes should they have won Texas, Cheney had changed his voter registration to Wyoming to avoid disqualifying any potential electoral votes from Texas in particular.
