I used the Google Maps method by drawing out the state and then recording the area. Very crude method and probably not 100% accurate, but good enough for an imaginary infobox lol.

The 1980 presidential election would be remembered as one of Democrats in disarray, with fingers still pointed regarding their landslide loss to this day in some circles. While the Republicans were quickly able to coincide around John Connally, the Democratic primaries would be bitterly fought between Walter Mondale of the progressive wing and George Wallace of the conservatives. While Mondale would sweep the Northeast and his home state of Minnesota, it would be Wallace who would ultimately win the most contests and delegates.
Because of Wallace’s segregationist history, his being nominated was of immense controversy within the party. Protests took place outside of the national convention in Madison Square Garden, the people of New York not wanting Wallace in their state. The day after the convention concluded, Jesse Jackson would announce that he would be running for president to represent people who found both parties too right-wing for them.
Progressive and liberal Democratic politicians refused to campaign for Wallace, instead focusing on down ballot races or already looking ahead to 1984. Some even endorsed Jackson, the most notable being Hawaiian senator Daniel Inouye.
Republicans were jubilant on election night, winning in a clear landslide.
Wallace won just six states: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and West Virginia. The Wallace campaign had no longer expected to win due to dismal polling performance, but even they were shocked but this underperformance. It especially stung to lose Louisiana to Connally.
Jackson won the states of Hawaii and Rhode Island, plus D.C., three of the most left-leaning places in the nation. The Rainbow Party had found a voting collation of progressives and African-Americans who were able to deliver the reverend eleven electoral votes, becoming the first third party candidate to win states since 1952. More importantly, they had shown that they were not a bloc that the Democrats could ignore if they wished to remain politically relevant. Time would tell if that lesson would be learned.

So a Socialist Democratic party, a Socialist party and a Communist party.
Say, what are Change '90's political views?
Why Bournemouth? I can think of a number of places that might suit Tolkien better as a peerage title. Also what causes him to live longer?
Bournemouth was where he died IOTL and I just picked the first name I saw since my original idea of Oxford was taken. I don't know the conditions behind his OTL death so I'll just say that his health is rather better ITTL.
A couple of high profile scandals among Labour leadership along with the fact that the Tories TTL absorbed much of the appeal of Labour, with both Distributism and High Toryism catering to the needs of the urban working class and the rural peasantry, albeit couched in more paternalistic language than Labour.
Mostly, I just didn't feel like working out the math for a third party.
The Socialist Democratic Federation was an actual party that split from the JSP in 1974.
Change '90 is meant to be an analogue of Fujimori's OTL Cambio 90 political party. Its ideology would be also similar to Fujimori's conservative ideology but in a Japanese context.
