Well, yeah... but whenever you divide along state lines, SOMEONE’S gonna be around a bunch of conservatives but left in red territory.
And sorry, but it’s REAL hard, no matter how you divide, to put a contiguous strip from Northern New Hampshire and rural Maine to another conservative region.
Hope you like Canada! (I do!)
“Hope you like Canada (I do).”

Candidate Trump and his family spent a lot of time in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, and won the district by 10 points.
Maine, like Nebraska, splits it’s electoral votes by congressional district. Nebraska has three congressional districts and Maine has only two.
Trump received one Electoral vote for carrying the 2nd District, which covers 80% of the state and, in area, is the largest congressional district east of the Mississippi.
Hildabeast Rotten Criminal won Maine’s more liberal (and more heavily populated) First CD, giving her one Electoral vote. She narrowly won the statewide vote by 2.9% (because of the more heavily populated First CD), giving her two more electoral votes.
Have CD 1 in Maine join Massachusetts and 80% of the state would be as red as a ripe apple.
What happens to the lib area in a state like Texas? Austin (Berkeley on the Prairie), Houston, Dallas, El Paso, the counties in the Rio Grande Valley?
