Oops, I see I was looking at those color associations backwards. Yes a divided Alaska would get more electoral votes (right now they have 3). Rhode Island has 4 (with a population over 1million). Washington DC has 3 (with a population of 600k).

There would possibly be even MORE electoral votes in the region (each state would get at least 1).

Tennessee has 96 counties. By makding each county a state, we would have 192 senators and 96 congressional representatives. Then other states could follow suit and end up with over 1000 senators and the county by county red and blue map could be reflected in the makeup of the senate and house....

In all seriousness, where would such gerrymandering end?
