2076 United States presidential election



The 2076 United States presidential election was the 77th quadrennial United States presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 3, 2076. The Democratic Party ticket of incumbents David Cummings and Riko Tsukamoto defeated the Green ticket of Annie Brown and Cody Dell, and the Republican ticket of Ally Krug and Justin Gordon. This was the final election in which the Democratic Party won the Electoral College, won the popular vote, or even received more than 20% of the popular vote nationwide.

Background
Cummings' extremely narrow plurality win in the popular vote was heavily influenced by the December 2074 launch of the first manned rockets to the planet Cyprus from Cape Canaveral in Florida, which increased his popularity significantly. However, on election day, Cummings had a disapproval rating of 61% according to Puckett Surveys and was only able to win the popular vote due to the three-way-split between the Democrats, Greens and Republicans.
