LEAST Favorite U.S. States Tournament: Round 2

[Mr. Smith]

Thanks for the excellent participation in the first round, here's the next go around. Because of a five way tie, 11 states were knocked off (and therefore given the most love, most notably Colorado which no one voted against).

This time around,you may pick up to 16 states [and yes no tricks since D.C. was knocked off in the 11].

The map is below, but here are the results

Most hated:

Oklahoma (5.1%)
Alabama (4.5%)
Texas (4.1%)
Arizona (3.9%)
Arkansas (3.8%)
Kansas (3.8%)
West Virginia (3.6%)

Minnesota (0.36%)
Michigan (0.4%)

So first, sorry Goldwater. No Minnesota in this ever,given you were the lone vote against the state, it was knocked out.

Second, unless there is a freak tie, the "bottom" 3-6 states will be eliminated next Saturday morning.

Looks like none of the states I chose last round were eliminated. Not surprising.

[Goldwater]

I dropped Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey.

[Mr. Smith]

Okay now I'll be putting up my map. Since Maine and New Hampshire got eliminated, I was able to get the exact number by eliminating the Honorable Mentions (in light blue last round) and Indiana.

Why is Arizona so disliked? It has the Grand Canyon!

[Goldwater]

Why is Arizona so disliked? It has the Grand Canyon!

Because the two things this forum hates the most are Republicans and hot sunny climates.

[Mr. Smith]

@Goldwater: And don't forget the horribly bad drinking water.

@Mike: But seriously, bad drinking water, deadly summer heat, nose-bleedingly dry air, and Phoenix practically contests Sacramento when it comes to disappointing capitals, and Republicans. And not the Rockefeller kind.

More surprised by how well Hawaii is doing if anything. That or the huge backlash on Nevada, figured there'd be more Atlasians fooled by Lake Tahoe or dig Vegas enough.

So Arizona water leaves spots, they're cultural trademarks!

Continuing with my climate diatribe: Dry air>>>>>humidity. But that's just my personal preference. Or acclimatization, since I grew up in a L.A. inland suburb with no air conditioning in my house. I even have a little heater in my room during the non-summer, and I never let it get below 74 degrees.

Was Idaho abolished? It's neither eliminated nor proposed.

[Mr. Smith]

@Max: Oh damn, missed again... and it was Minnesota the first time around. And I can't edit polls yet

Whoever posts next will have to write it here if they don't like it. It was originally still in at 2.7% though.

...Third Time's the charm I guess?

[Mr. Smith]

Round 3 is up, voting here is now closed...and don't worry the Idaho is back if you really want to hate it.
