LOL, yeah.

I can draw up all 50 states + DC on a blank map too, name all their state capitals, their current Governors and their current 2 Senators ... Tongue

Yes.

I think the more pressing question would be, can you determine each state's electoral votes from a blank map. From memory:
ME: 2(2)
NH: 4
VT: 3
MA: 11
RI: 4
CT: 6
NY: 29
PA: 20
NJ: 14
DE: 3
MD: 10
DC: 3
VA: 13
NC: 15
SC: 7
GA: 16
FL: 29
AL: 9
MS: 5
TN: 10
KY: 7
WV: 5
OH: 17
MI: 16
WI: 10
MN: 10
IA: 6
IL: 19
IN: 11
MO: 10
AR: 6
LA: 8
TX: 38
OK: 7
KS: 6
NE: 2(3)
SD: 3
ND: 3
MT: 3
WY: 3
CO: 9
NM: 5
AZ: 11
UT: 6
NV: 6
ID: 4
WA: 13
OR: 7
CA: 55
HI: 4
AK: 3

Whoa, that's the same order that I use, with a few exceptions in the middle.

At one point, when I was around 12, I could name all 435 congresspersons in the House. Now I would be hard pressed to name 100. Sad!

I tried memorizing all the congresspeople last year, but then I gave up a little over half way through.

Yes, of course. But I was surprised how fast I knew them all. Especially since this election cycle started.

Not knowing them would be difficult on this forum. Back in 2011, when I became a permanent US resident, I learned all names of the state because I felt that it is my obligation to this country do so.

However, I'm surprised that 100% of posters voted yes.

I would totally do that if I moved to another country.
