Stuyvesant's Thread

What on earth is going on with that New Mexico panhandle?
Wikipedia said:
In the mid-1930s, the Walsenburg World-Independent proposed that Huerfano County secede from the state.[11] This was a pet project of Sam T. Taylor, a sports editor, who went on to become a long-serving state senator,[12] continuing to pursue the idea unsuccessfully.[13]
In 1973, nearby Costilla County had expressed interest in seceding from Colorado and joining New Mexico.[14]

"An American Party" is phresh.

Obviously all of these suffer from the fact that the OTL boundaries are mostly partisan ridiculousness. I think I once suggested that someone doing multiparty Americas could use one of those weirdo computer-drawn blobby ones that some Americans have advocated due to the 'the idea that boundaries can be drawn neutrally is so out-there we have to invoke bizarre practices to do it rather than just having a neutral commission' factor.

In fairness, this is just OTL caucuses renamed after Centrist (on paper) Third Parties as a trial run for a list.
