The Thirty-Eight States of America

[This account no longer in use.]

Current electoral vote count:

Safe D: 69 EVs (Kennebec, Plymouth, Hudson, Mackinac)
Lean D: 56 EVs (Mohawk, Allegheny, Dearborn)
Tossup: 85 EVs (Susquehanna, Chesapeake, Albemarle, Biscayne)
Lean R: 24 EVs (Piedmont, Wabash)
Safe R: 34 EVs (Carolina, Appalachia, Erie, Cumberland)

So, yes, this is somewhat of a Democratic gerrymander, but I feel like that has a definitive chance of changing (Alaska split into two, parts of very Republican states added to Colorado, etc.)

[This account no longer in use.]

So far, the senate is 19-15 Democratic.

[Antonio the Sixth]

This is a great thread, but it badly needs some election maps!

Thanks for the plug BTW.

I might work on some election maps for this.

Am now in the process of making a subpar 2012 election map in MS Paint.
