App to Redraw the States and Change the Electoral Map

it needs a zoom feature IMO.

Agreed. Why does the east make their counties so damn small?

Here's something close to my ideal state map. One state is colored incorrectly by the app as I couldn't get Manhattan transferred, but the hand-filled map below it is accurate. It comes out to a slight Trump win (~280 EV), but is a clear win for an Obama-like candidate. Several of the states are easily winnable for a more conservative Democratic candidate.

Interesting. You have 49 states here, correct? Or am I miscounting?

i might start a separate thread for this one tbh

I would support that! I always like alternate state threads.

Yes, I ended up losing one and couldn't get it back unfortunately. I didn't mean to have only 49. I guess you could add Puerto Rico/US Virgin Islands to get back to 50.

Hey, since the app now has the 2012 election, I decided to try to recreate your states using that election's map. Here's what it looks like:



What I find most interesting is that the Rio Grande state apparently voted for Romney by a margin of a bit less than 20,000 votes.
