Another alternative US states thread

[Goldwater]

Very interesting. How many people live in West Florida?

[Goldwater]

I see. I can imagine many people in this universe calling it a pointless state.

Anyway, one of the things this map changes is that my birth state becomes Oregon instead of Nevada. Who's largest city now seems to be Reno.

[Goldwater]

So, is this enough interest for you to post the other maps?

[Goldwater]

I would guess that this version of Nevada would be a Republican leaning sate while Arizona becomes somewhat more Democratic due to the inclusion of Clark county, but probably still votes Republican in most elections.

[Goldwater]

Yikes, does that version of Nevada have any major cities? It loses Reno and Vegas, and doesn't seem to far enough into Utah to get Salt Lake or Provo. I'm also not sure it should even be called Nevada, considering how far way the entire state is from the Sierra Nevada.

[Goldwater]

I see that I live in Idaho now.

It looks like Nevada might once again become a bit more Republican, due to the loss of Clark County, although the expansion into the Sacramento suburbs might balance that out a bit, I'm not sure. Meanwhile, it looks like Arizona might be a bit more Democratic, although probably not enough to flip the result of the state.

Oh hey, it's back! I always like these kind of threads. I assume you will be doing the rest of the maps too?
