Shouldn't this be a multiple choice poll? For instance if you move one state's borders, wouldn't you also have to another state's borders to accommodate?  Just an observation.  For me, its my native Oklahoma that should expand to include most of the Texas Panhandle north of Lubbock all the way to the New Mexico Border.  Texas is big enough as it is.  Although, that might be enough to tip Texas blue, but oh well.

The Panhandle is very Republican, but it also has hardly any people in it, so I doubt it would have much of an impact on our elections.

Giving El Paso County to New Mexico is one that has always made sense to me. The Trans-Pecos region of Texas is so far removed from the rest of the state, it has to make do with a separate time zone and it gets completely ignored by our state's political establishment. If El Paso were to join New Mexico, it would be the largest city in the Land of Enchantment, and any hopes of New Mexico going back to being a swing state would be killed.

Incidentally, the North Carolina - South Carolina border is in the middle of being clarified.  Here's a story about it.  The full story has several other problems the clarification is causing.

Here's the doctor's home.  The blue line is where South Carolina thought the border was, the orange line is where North Carolina thought the border was, and the yellow line is where the boundary commission has determined where the border is.



In other places the border is moving to put people who thought they were in South Carolina into North Carolina, including a convenience store that sells fireworks and beer that it won't be able to in North Carolina. (South Carolina has the most liberal fireworks laws in the US, and the store would be in a dry county in North Carolina.  The store is located on the border mainly to sell beer to thirsty North Carolinians and some 70% of its sales are in those two items that would be banned once the clarification is approved.
Does this have an effect on the Andrew Jackson birthplace?


Clearly all he has to do is start seeing patients in his swimming pool and everything checks out.
