    Could you imagine living in Hawaii and not having readily available corn fields? How would I do all my corn field based activities?

      I was literally just thinking that we need more corn fields here

      Honestly it fits my theory that one of the Dakotas doesn’t really exist.

      It’s probably where all the birds are controlled from.

        One of them certainly shouldn’t exist. The fact that that area is split into two states is only to have two more Republican Senators.

          State borders are strange. Like why the part of Florida in the central time zone isn’t just Alabama doesn’t make sense to me.

    I don’t agree with the color choice. Green would’ve been much nicer.

        Multiple counties in Illinois voted in favor of exploring secession from the state because they don’t like how Chicago turns the state blue. It would definitely be a red state without us.

          Every state would be a red state without the major cities.

            I was just looking at some of the recent voting data by state and one of the southwestern or Western states was only 6k votes from electing Harris. I think there were only about 100k votes total. Maybe it was Oklahoma?

              I find that interesting yet hard to believe.

              I tried to search for the info but Google is failing me and I’m too lazy to click a bunch of States on an interactive map.

        To be fair, the corn isn’t growing in the blue part of Illinois

          Yes it is. As a resident, I can attest that the corn is growing about damn near everywhere.

        Yup, and Michigan and Wisconsin are swing states. It’s still the vast majority.

          still majority yes, but also minnesota is a solid blue state. It’s maybe like a 75/25 split which isn’t that radical.

          In fact, of the yellows, there are 3 Democratic, 2 Swing States, and 5 Republican.

            I only found Minnesota and Illinois as consistently Democratic voting states. What’s the third?

            Edit: I just saw Delaware.

            How does Nebraska factor? Last election they were 2 votes blue three votes red.

    As a foreigner, based on my road trip from Houston to Port Fourchon in Louisiana, I would have thunk those two percentages would’ve been substantially higher. Especially Louisiana.

      It’s cheaper to grow corn closer to the main roads.
