Preliminary Preferences

from PolMach Forums
I've noticed (at least in the demo) that the voters' preferences for each canidate is 33% Rep, 33% Dem, and 33% Undecided. What, then, is the point of having "Democratic" or "Republican" states, those shaded in blue or red under the Liberal vs Conservative map? Shouldn't a liberal state start out with an advantage for the Democratic canidate (approx. equal to the Democratic population advantage in the state, with some undecideds taken out), since most people will vote with their party regardless of who is running, especially before the canidates make themselves known?

At the start of the game, all candidates have 0 awareness so it sets 33/33/33 by default. As awareness goes up, the differences in states shows up.
