50 States of Equal Population/Electoral College

[Wallet]

This map is what the US would look like if it was 50 states of equal population. This was recently posted in chat. What states would vote Republican and what states would vote Democrat? And what would the electoral collge look like. Assuming each state has the same amount of electoral votes, then winning the most states woud win you the election?

Probably a lean GOP gerrymander.

Chopped up like in any good Republican gerrymander.

Can someone please color in the map? I cant fill it in with my paint program?

 

[Beedok]

Throg's Neck! Blar!

Seriously, who would name something Throg's Neck?

That is an OTL place on the North Shore of Nassau County.

 

[Asami]

Oooh. Tampa Bay being it's own state? Me likey.

Even if it is now firmly Republican. >>

GARY, you stuck me in Gary! With Joliet as the state capitol. I fart in your general directon. Your mother was a hampster and your father smelled of elderberries.

 

[wilcoxchar]

Wait... why is Cheyenne of all places the capital of Ogallala? Make Colorado Great Again!

 

[Baconheimer]

I will not accept Arlington as the capital of any state, fictional or not.

I made a PNG of the map. Some of the borders are slightly off because I was following county lines (most notably Reno being in Shasta instead of Mendocino because of keeping Washoe County whole), but I did the best I could to get the borders right.

 

[Aaaaasima]

GARY!

 

[QueenofScots]

GARY!

One thing that's always struck me as odd about this map are the names of all the states- such as the Boston-based state being named Casco (a small town and inlet of the Gulf of Maine). Some of the borders in the Northeast could also use a bit of a readjusting, as areas such as western Maine and Buffalo, NY as well as Stockbridge and Scrantion being paired up with each other are a bit unusual. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent map.

Wow, I just saw that movie for the first time like a week ago and now it's popped up so soon.

 

[Misanthrope]

Is Reno part of Mendocino, Shiprock or Shasta in that map, OP? If you want to see a city destroy itself...just make it a border town between 3 states that would all have significant support.

 

[wilcoxchar]

Here's the larger map.

From the large map it looks like Reno is part of Mendocino.

Who made this map? It looks like they had a lot of fun working on it.
