It seems like everybody here is able to "read" prediction or what-if maps. Can you name all the states on blank a map or do you sometimes (or more often) take a look on another map?

I couldn't until the 2012 election. After checking out electoral-vote.com almost every day, after a few weeks, I learned it without intending to do so. I think I could even name all states with only the border lines shown. However, I was always good at geography.

Even on a map with no lines, yes.

LOL, yeah.

I can draw up all 50 states + DC on a blank map too, name all their state capitals, their current Governors and their current 2 Senators ... Tongue

Well for someone who can draw all the states, your avatar is one of the worst drawings of Kentucky I have ever seen.

Complain to DAVE then.

But I don't blame him: his avatar-making hands have become quite shaky since his imprisonment in my basement.

He's clearly trying to get the FSB agents to out themselves.

Yes.

I think the more pressing question would be, can you determine each state's electoral votes from a blank map. From memory:
ME: 2(2)
NH: 4
VT: 3
MA: 11
RI: 4
CT: 6
NY: 29
PA: 20
NJ: 14
DE: 3
MD: 10
DC: 3
VA: 13
NC: 15
SC: 7
GA: 16
FL: 29
AL: 9
MS: 5
TN: 10
KY: 7
WV: 5
OH: 17
MI: 16
WI: 10
MN: 10
IA: 6
IL: 19

Sadly, this thread reminds me of what Alec Guinness wrote on William Hague being able to name all UK constituencies.

Something about Hague being a politics nerd no-one respected?

That's like going to a football (soccer) forum and asking if the posters know every World Cup winner.

Of course. I can also pick out the partisan composition of the 2 Senate seats, at least a ballpark of the House delegations / # electoral votes, and which party controls each legislature chamber.
