You didn't understand my point either. The 20,000 will likely be but the tip of the iceburg, the *first wave*.
The possibility of 40,000 *contrarian votes* won't be much of a problem if there are 400,000 of those new chum voters overwhelming them by the end of the decade- if America still has anything resembling free or honest elections by then.
But my interest in relocating is not at all *solely* for the purpose of influencing the political life in that location, but in making it possible to reside and remain there with a minimum of external interference. I expect that'll be a common cause with many long-term residents, and an answer to their prayers.

Once they get the UFO people to join with them?
I highly doubt that. The most likely result of 20,000 people moving into the state is those 20,000 people moving back out of the state in a few years.

Like I said, the only state you could take over with that many votes is Wyoming--and there are very good reasons for Wyoming having as low a population as it does, most of which relate to the free market. Increasing the population of Wyoming by 400,000 or so would require a program of public largesse--and lots of it--in order to achieve the goal.

Well, it looks like you have a handy excuse for failure already primed up: "the elections were stolen by the EE-VIL Republicans and Democrats."
So, you and a few thousand of your buddies want to move in from outside, displace the current constituents, and take over the control of the state govt. to avoid "external" interference.
Hypocrite. I expect the long term residents of Idaho, whom I know quite well, will despise you.
