If the electoral college trend were to hold for next 100 years

JUST FOR LAUGHS

Highly unlikely, but if the same states loss/gained the same EVs every census for the next 100 years, Election 2104's map would look like this:

[A18]

Ha! If the 2104 election results were the same as the 2004 election results, who would win?

[King]

Bush would have 363 EVs, Kerry would have 175...

Georgia with 4X the reps as NY? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha

PA with 3 EV's...

[Akno21]

PA with 3 EV's...

Everyone can argue about PA-01 now! Even people from Pittsburgh.

Could you imagine the excitement? I have a feeling that if it was all one CD that IrishDem and myself would still be the only members from PA arguing about it.

What I'd also like to see: these trends continued for more than 10 years...now THAT would be a map.

California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Colorado, North Carolina, and Georgia: 537
All those other useless states: 1

[Colin]

PA with as many people as Alaska, Vermont, or Wyoming. I can never see that happening the decline will stop before it gets to that point.

No decline just growing slowly.

What sort of model are you using, anyways?
Linear is bad
Exponential is bad
Logistical is less bad, but still bad

Linear. That's the point - it is just for fun.

[The Man From G.O.P.]

I would love that as long as the conservative to liberal ratio in those states remained the same

[The Man From G.O.P.]

The top 7 states would equal 275 ev's

scary thought there

Fun with logarithms!





Red: change
Blue: no change

[King]

Wow, 10 EVs in Wisconsin is quite a change from the 10 EVs it had before

What is the 3 (2) thing for South Dakota?

By the way, gotta love the changes in...well..Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Montana, Mississippi, and Connecticut.

What is the 3 (2) thing for South Dakota?

They ended up rounding to 2, but the minimum is 3.

They have changed since 1980, y'know

California with 72 Electoral Votes? Thats crazy. Their will have to be something done about that before California basically controls the Presidential Election, and no the answer isn't to get rid of the system. Their should be a cap on how many Electoral votes a state can have, say no more than 60 or 55 something like that, that would stop the Electoral Vote takeover by large states.

That would involve disenfranchising California voters even more than they already are.

A congressional district system like Maine and Nebraska might have to be imposed on large states.

[7,052,770]

A congressional district system like Maine and Nebraska might have to be imposed on large states.

on small states that might be OK, but on large ones it would create HUGE gerrymandering by the party in power.
A proportional system might be better on large states.

Or yiu could start adding more seats.

Not that I see this map happening, but the notion that the three largest states on verin's map (CA, TX, FL) are all more than twice as large (CA almost 4x !) as the next biggest three states (NY, NC and GA) is kinda scary.
