This is the 2044 presidential map. What happened?

The electoral vote allocation seems wrong. CA won't lose two more seats. TX won't gain eight. Why would OK lose one while KS gains one? How would ND gain a district? Some of the allocations are just impossible. Why would, for instance, NM lose seats while TX, CO, AZ, UT and NV all gain seats? And ID won't double in population that quickly...I would believe ID gaining two seats if it had gained one in 2020, but it didn't. I can imagine an ID-03 but 2044, but an ID-04 seems a step too far. And WV's two districts are overpopulated right now - I can't imagine it halving its population again. DE gains one while NJ loses two?? KY loses two and TN gains two? And NH isn't going to lose one district. MA is a likelier candidate for that, I'd say.

Well, disregarding the electoral vote allocations (which suggest some massive immigration wave that radically changed population proportions between states) very little seems to have changed!

The margins are interesting though. Colorado being more D than the West Coast is something, as well as SC and MS being among the closest states.

Apparently, scientists came up with a way to make us immortal so Joe Biden and Donald Trump can run forever.

[PRESIDENT STANTON]

I imagine the 2024 Presidential map represents a alternative political universe. The election is between an incumbent Vice President (Democrat) from Virginia, running for the "third term" of a popular young President who is concluding his second term. I imagine the Republican's select the fiscally Conservative and socially liberal Governor of New York (I call him Russell Flynn), and because the G.O.P. hold their convention first (in Detroit), the Democrats hold their convention in Miami and the Democrats ticket includes the Vice president Andrew Taylor who is compelled to select the Governor of New Jersey (I call her Rebecca Solis), in attempt to neutralize Flynn's East Coast appeal.
Flynn despite Taylor's best efforts, extends his appeal beyond the Republican hinterlands and it is believed that on Election night that Taylor has lost, however as the map demonstratesTaylor ekes out a narrow election victory by winning enough Southern states along with Texas, Michigan and all of New England and traditionally Republican bellwether States. Also Flynn's liberal positions on Social issues depresses turnout with the base. The map demonstrated that any Republican who does so well in the suburbs, sacrifices the levels of support a more Conservative nominee might earn.

Seems like current political trends continued, ME-1 outweighed ME-2 leaving ME-AL to be a lean-Democratic state, and DC became large enough to have 2 districts. I would be surprised if this would be the electoral map, but if the 2020s and 2030s prove to be quiet without a massive voter realignment or demographic shift, this map is possible and proves that both Trumpism and Harrisism were successful.
