Thoughts on the Pearcy 38 States Map?

Allegheny and Mohawk will determine which way this electoral college would lean.  Right now there are fewer CDs of D+ territory but also fewer small states so the senator EVs are less important.  Not sure which effect will win.

And done (except for AK, but screw that)!

Looks like the Senate as a whole would be quite even, albeit with a slight D bias. I could see Dems getting 41-42 out of 76 with two or three good cycles in a row; maybe 35 in a bad era.

Please do Alaska.

I'm not sure it has much of a D bias. Instead of looking at 2008 vote share one should look at the PVI. That means subtracting 52.9% from the D vote share. That shifts 3 of those states from D to R and 2 would be even. So if both in AK are R, then I count 15 D, 21 R, 2 E.

Very interesting. Dearborn would be a pretty awesome state both politically and geographically. Definitely much more unity than what we have now.

[Nutmeg]

Some fairly odd choices of names there such as a State of Eire that does not touch Lake Eire.  And why he felt the need to rename Hawaii when his proposed Kilauea covers the exact same territory is beyond me.

Or misspell Talladega.

Gonna start 2012 (with whole counties)



Just Cascade so far

I agree, I would love Madison to be in a state like that. However, I don't think Grand Rapids area would.
