Challenge: Create as many hypermarginals as possible

[minionofmidas]

without the map looking utterly ridiculous.

Utterly being the instrumental word. Be creative.

Do any state you want.

I'll start: Missouri. "Hypermarginal" defined as 0.5% margin maximum. 6 of them.



Insets:





1st 64.9 Obama - 34.3 McCain, 35.4% Black
2nd 49.2 - 49.6
3rd 49.2 - 49.5
4th 49.1 - 49.4
5th 49.3 - 49.4
6th 49.3 - 49.1
7th 32.6 Obama - 66.0 McCain, 0.9% Black
8th 49.4 - 49.2

Heh. I was working on the same state (must be the overall closeness ). I got 11, though the mountain district needs to be utterly hideous to just about make it past the lower perimeter.



No price for guessing which are the odd two out. They're both at 64.odd btw (and the Dem one is far from the maxpack possible in that area. The Rep one, not so much.)

Nice map.
