Gerrymander state boundaries

[Nichlemn]

fuzzy redrew the states to give Carter a 1980 victory. I'm intrigued at to what could be done with "clean" looking boundaries. You'd probably split rivers and other things but the maps would look nice.

Some ideas:

- Expand or shrink the Florida panhandle to make it more or less Republican, respectively.
- Give Philadelphia and some of its sububs to NJ to make PA GOP-leaning.
- From Missouri, give Kansas City and St Louis to its neighbours to make it solidly red.
- Expand New Mexico across the OK/TX panhandles to turn it Republican-leaning.

In 2000, simply transferring the whole Florida panhandle west of the Apalachicola River to Alabama gives a nicer looking map and a Gore victory.

In 2004, that only reduces Bush's margin in Florida to 186,648.  Move the Jacksonville metro area into Georgia as well, and you can flip a 22 EV Florida into the Kerry column and give him the victory.

Nevada and Colorado would admitted to the US just to secure the Republicans 3 electors. Ironically one of Nevada's electors died and so Lincoln only got 2 in 1864. Colorado didn't bother to hold an election, but they were critical in the 1876 election.
