Fun, if limiting – Battleground - The Election Game (FREE) Review

There are plenty of election simulation games around, and I’d say this one is slightly better than average. You have only 2 possible actions each turn — campaign or fundraise — and you can do the former only in states that aren’t deemed “safe” for 1 party or the other, but there’s still a fair degree of strategy involved. When you do a single-player game, your opponent is a somewhat-intelligent AI who generally imitates your campaign trail to keep you from accumulating too great a lead in any state. (Tip: visit a few states as many times as possible, so you build up an insurmountable lead.) As for realism... Well, in the last game, Delaware went red while Florida and Ohio went blue. So, the results are generally somewhat fathomable, if not particularly likely.
