LEAST Favorite U.S. States Tournament: Round 3

[Mr. Smith]

Here's the next round, which I decided to do a day early, the next one should be up either Tuesday or after Christmas.

Turns out there was a slight tie, so instead 8 states are out this round (under "least hated"). With this turnout, I guess 11 is the best, given that's how most have voted from the inception of this.

So anyway, here are the results from last round: (link to which this came here: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=204117.0)

Most hated

Oklahoma (6.7%)
Mississippi (5.9%)
Alabama (4.9%)
Texas (4.9%)
Arkansas (4.4%)
Florida (4.4%) [newly placed]
Missouri (4.4%) [newly placed]
West Virginia (4.1%)
Kansas (3.9%)

Least hated (eliminated)

Montana (0.3%)
Wisconsin (0.3%)
New Mexico (0.5%)
Hawaii (0.5%)
Alaska (1%)
Illinois (1%)
Iowa (1%)
Maryland (1%)

Everything else in between

Arizona [rescued from the "most hated"]
California
Connecticut
Delaware
Georgia
Idaho
Indiana
Kentucky
Louisiana
Nebraska
Nevada
New Jersey
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Utah
Wyoming

And here is or as the map has it (dark blue is the loathed, grey is eliminated, and blue is the rest)

EDIT: So yeah, 11 options, go for it...and hopefully no state got left in limbo this time (like the long eliminated Minnesota or the re-included Idaho). Keep with the original polling's 13 if you must, but try to keep to 11 as that seems to be what most voters started at anyway.

First one to 50% wins

Alright, here's my map.

Iowa was the only one eliminated (which I was going to cut anyway if it weren't), so that left me with 2-4 to cut.

And I can't seriously let the state with the other 1/3 of Lake Tahoe hit the bottom, nor the state with Mt. Rushmore and the Badlands. Ohio has the most cold coast, and Kentucky has the Appalachians.
