50 Equal States

If these were the actual states, I would still be living in my birth state.

Relevant.

I can't tell which state Reno is on that map. Whatever it is. I was born there and now live in Salt Lake.

State #33: Eastern Washington + Most of Oregon + Western Nevada + Northeastern California. Population: 6,195,878

Biggest City: Reno (225,221)

Romney: 1,405,902 (51.4%)
Obama: 1,243,924 (45.5%)

That's my state. And my birth city.

Very interesting. Maybe I'll make an opinion map for this at some point, similar to the one I did with Antonio's states. All I know for sure right now is that San Diego is my favorite of the new sates.

Actually, instead of making a map I'll just alphabetically list the states in each tier, becasue I don't want to recolor each county individually.

So, I tried recreating your state using this app* to see how they would vote in 2016. The results stay mostly the same, but Minneapolis , Virginia Beach, Warren, and Pittsburgh all flipped to Trump. I suppose none of that is surprising, but I thought it would be interesting to try anyway.


*(Though because you can't split counties, the LA area doesn't really work. If if I move Ventura county over to the Fresno state, I just end up with two somewhat overpopulated state rather than one very overpopulated state)
