why is alaska part of the same state as WA? what about the chunk of canada in between? and it's weird also with hawaii and oregon. with the ocean cutting the state in half. btw, you should have put it with california. if you actually line up Hawaii on the globe, it's parallel with California or even Mexico, not oregon. seriously. look at a globe or map of the world and put your finger on hawaii and then make a straight line east back to the mainland. you will end up south of oregon

http://fakeisthenewreal.org/reform/

electoral college reform apparently
The electoral college is a time-honored, logical system for picking the chief executive of the United States. However, the American body politic has also grown accustomed to paying close attention to the popular vote. This is only rarely a problem, since the electoral college and the popular vote have only disagreed three times in 200 years. However, it's obvious that reforms are needed.
The fundamental problem of the electoral college is that the states of the United States are too disparate in size and influence. The largest state is 66 times as populous as the smallest and has 18 times as many electoral votes. This increases the chance for Electoral College results that don't match the popular vote. To remedy this issue, the Electoral Reform Map redivides the fifty United States into 50 states of equal population. The 2010 Census records a population of 308,745,538 for the United States, which this map divides into 50 states, each with a population of about 6,175,000.

Advantages of this proposal
-Preserves the historic structure and function of the Electoral College.
-Ends the over-representation of small states and under-representation of large states in presidential voting and in the US Senate by eliminating small and large states.
-Political boundaries more closely follow economic patterns, since many states are more centered on one or two metro areas.
-Ends varying representation in the House. Currently, the population of House districts ranges from 528,000 to 924,000. After this reform, every House seat would represent districts of the same size. (Since the current size of the House isn't divisible by 50, the numbers of seats should be increased to 450 or 500.)
States could be redistricted after each census - just like House seats are distributed now.

Interesting. Midwest. Pick one.
