what if state lines were drawn in different places?
it would dramatically alter how the electoral college chose the president.
(i think this is a BAD thing for US democracy)
this simulator shows you what might happen if you combined different counties into states.
it's very hastily put together, though, so it might not work. sorry!
you can email me if something breaks.
to play, enter in states (by abbreviation, like MN for Minnesota)
and counties (with their state abbreviation prepended with a hyphen, like MN-stlouis for St. Louis County, Minnesota).
each state/county should be on its own line, and no duplicates, please :)
