An interesting thing about this map, the way these lines are drawn would all but guarantee conservative victories for a long, long time.

A bunch of extra, barely inhabited states, to give two extra electoral votes and a handful of senators to conservatives. I wonder if whoever drew this is aware that most Canadian conservatives are closer to American Democrats than American conservatives.

outside of the far right / populist MAGA copycats in the People's Party of Canada, and a certain strain of Albertan Separatist types. Most Canadian Conservatives are leftists compared to the US parties.

even Pierre Pollievre who canadians are labeling as a Trump puppet, is openly supportive of many policies the GOP would crucify people for, like abortion, gay marriage, etc.

Assuming the conquered territories get a vote is a bit of a leap.

Yeah, any questionable voting area will get Puerto Rico’d.

Good eye. Ontario is left as is so I guess they want another California in terms of population to seat ratio.
