App to Redraw the States and Change the Electoral Map

How do you get Manhattan to change states?

How do you get Manhattan to change states?

...well, there is a workaround. Let's say you want NYC or just NY county to be part of NJ. Transfer all but one NJ county to NY. Transfer all upstate NY counties to the last remaining NJ county. Transfer the last NJ county to the rest of NJ.

I had been working for a long time on a mega-gerrymander with tons of snake-like states, and, just when I had Hillary down to the mid-40s (confined entirely to parts of the SF Bay Area, LA County, and NYC), I accidentally hit the "see how arbitrary our system is link instead of the move button!  Now, it's all gone!

Something like this?:

I am a monster. 493-45

Similar, but mine had much less Democratic territory in CA, none in DC, but more in NYC.  I had Washington stretching into the Dallas suburbs to compensate for a ton of liberal cities added to it, for example.

I got a 522-14 map (I killed Massachusetts and couldn't get it back).  Theoretically, it should be possible to get 535-3 once you add LA and Cook County to DC, but some of the counties are too small to click on here.

I think the least number of counties you need to change the election is 4 -- move the three panhandle Florida counties to Alabama and moving Camden County to Pennsylvania. Clinton wins.

You can do it with 3. Camden to PA, Lake to WI, and Lucas to MI.

If you don't care about contiguity, just move Los Angeles County to Texas, and Hillary wins.

Except that Trump would actually still get the 1 vote from Maine and it would be tied, going to the House.

It just takes moving LA county to TX to get a tie (not ignoring ME-02)

Anyways I wanted to demonstrate this monstrosity.

Beautiful.

Is a 538 R map possible?  (Probably a stupid question.)

[Boston Bread]

A 538 R map isn't possible because Clinton won the popular vote. In fact Clinton would have to win at least 7EVs in any map, since you need a state where Clinton won by at least 2.6 million votes in order to give Trump all remaining states. Such a state would have at least 4 million people, which gives it at least 7 EVs.

[bagelman]

How few counties can you move to give Romney the election with continuous not obviously gerrymandered states?

You can make it the capital territory to get a 535-3 R win.

You can add all but 50 R counties to DC to get a 535-3 win.....

A zoom feature would be nice, as well as the ability to add states.

I am able to zoom on my touchscreen with Edge, but not Chrome. Even then I can't get to the smallest independent cities in VA, and for some reason I can't get to Arlington county either.

Do you mean zooming the whole page similar to CTRL+(+)?  Or is there an actual zoom feature on the map itself?

In this case I used the ability of the touch screen to zoom with my fingers. Chrome has a conflict with the current update to Win 10, so it only works for me in Edge.

You don't even need Lake, Lucas and Camden makes a 270-268 Clinton win
