Post random maps here

Well, the map bears a similarity to the NBA (especially with Oklahoma), but Utah and Missouri throw it off.

Places with major professional sports teams. (red?)

[Хahar 🤔]

Do the colours have to do with how many teams they have? Eg - Florida has Orlando in the basketball and the Dolphins in the grid iron, so two major teams? I think they've got a hockey team, too, but don't quote me on it.

Florida has:

Basketball: Orlando, Miami
Football: Tampa Bay, Miami, Jacksonville
Baseball: Tampa Bay, Miami
Hockey: Tampa Bay, Miami



Red ones are states with one team.

[Хahar 🤔]

yes. It's the old Southern Conference. Sorry Smid, you'd probably don't know what that is.

The old SEC?

No, it wasn't the SEC it was the Southern Conference.

On a somewhat related note, I am disappointed that Rice no longer plays Texas.

An amendment?

[Хahar 🤔]

Too complicated.

Vulcan!

Heh. It's that guy who I keep confusing with the Trot when I look through the Atlasian archives.

1912 without Wilson and Roosevelt:

1912, second place:

Long wouldn't have done that.

And this is just because...

2008, GOP nominees are Romney/Brownback, Dem is Obama/Biden. Economic crisis and Romney has a solid defense...

GOP: 299
Dem: 239

Massachusetts? Please.

[Хahar 🤔]

This is a tricky one.  (And don't google it).

Sorry, I've no idea.

Think: the Constitution.  Not political.

Any guesses?

27th Amendment?

[Хahar 🤔]

26th?

Life expectancy at birth?

[Хahar 🤔]

Nobody's actually registered with the CMPA.

But I see we win Hancock, MD (or thereabouts).

McCain (R-AZ)/Palin (R-AK)
Obama (D-IL)/Biden (D-DE)
Allosaurus (I-MT)/Utahraptor (I-UT)
Cthulhu (I-NJ)/Cthulhu (I-NJ)

Once again the Allosaurus landslides, losing the states of Arizona to the Republicans, Illinois to the Democrats and New Jersey to Cthulhu (though it must be noted that in New Jersey, Cthulhu was the only candidate on the ballot).  However, the Allosaurus does pick up Texas, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island and 3 out of 4 of Maine's electoral votes.  Due to an insanity inducing warp in the space time continuum, Cthulhu is his own running mate.

New Jersey wouldn't be allowed to cast its Presidential and Vice Presidential votes for Cthulhu; the Constitution forbids electors to vote for a Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate from their state.

I am well aware of what the constitution stipulates as regards to presidential and vice presidential home-states, but this is A) Cthulhu we're talking about here, an unspeakable insanity inducing god-like alien with an uncanny ability manipulate and warp the space-time continuum, and B) this a non serious fictional presidential election map. 

By the way, you are familiar with Cthulhu and aware of the works of H.P. Lovecraft, right? 

Yes, but that doesn't mean I can't nitpick over minor details of an intentionally implausible map.

Is this the attention whore thread now?

I'll help.

2008 election minus Louisiana and Mississippi.

Yes, I come up with weird and unrealistic assumption that new hurricane just whipped out these states

Oh, that was incredibly difficult.

I'm sure this has been done before, but here it is:

D 459 (56.25%), R 79 (43.42%)

This map has to do with place names.

This map has to do with place names.

I realized I forgot to answer this. The correct answer is that every state in red has a Montgomery County.

This map refers to education and darker states have more.
