Welcome to the first day of Round 3 of Board 8's Favorite North American Subdivision! First, don't forget to take a look at our few quick, common-sense rules if you haven't already:

• Alt voting is lame. Don't do it.
• Editing your vote is allowed as long as you're not changing the subdivision you're voting for in a given match; preferably don't delete and repost your vote to correct a typo when you can edit it instead.
• Matches will last exactly 24 hours - no less and no more, not even by a second.
• If a given match is tied at that time, I'll run tiebreakers on subsequent days until one subdivision wins.
• I reserve the right to edit these rules at any time should I have missed something or otherwise feel it's necessary.
• Most importantly, I encourage you to help keep this topic bumped (especially in the PDT mornings when I'm asleep), tell others about B8FNAS, and generally have fun!

With that out of the way, here's the bracket: https://challonge.com/B8FNAS
And here's the results and discussion topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/78882138

Now, let's move on to today's contenders and their matches:

California vs. Massachusetts

Arguably the two most important modern bastions of left-leaning politics in the US face off in what feels something like a pre-destined match. Will Massachusetts suffer the same fate as its southwestern neighbor, or will it be the subdivision to finally leverage the fabled California antivotes?

New Mexico vs. Minnesota

These two both had comparatively tough paths to reach this match, and it wouldn't be hard to envision a scenario of Ohio vs. Alaska in its place. Instead, Minnesota is the final Midwestern state left; can it keep the region alive against a Western state with an exact inversion of its postal code?

Quick voting form:

CA v MA
NM v MN
