Based on BRTD's past description of regional variations in Minnesota and North Dakota, I imagine there's a decent chunk of "Will Rogers-izing" territory on either side of that boundary.  Adding Petersonland to North Dakota would make both states more Democratic, while shifting the boundary westward would make both states more Republican.  Others would know better, though.

This works.

So does putting Douglas County, NE in Iowa to make both more Republican.

Moving Vigo and Vermillion counties from Indiana to Illinois works to make both more Republican. Moving Gallatin or Kankakee from Illinois to Indiana makes both more Democratic.
