1799:

January 1st: The United States Department of Internal Affairs continues its task of creating a nationwide census. The biggest obstacles are the states and territories out in the west. Due to the sparse amount of settlements and the relatively spread-out nature of the people in the western parts of the nation, it is difficult to record an accurate census. The process is tedious, but thousands will be employed by the Department to ensure that the 1800 Census is completed.

For the Census, the Department of Internal Affairs counts the total population of each state, the total population of the United States, the ethnic demographic of the United States (White [which is split into further categories], African Americans, "Canadian" American, Native Americans, Caribbean Americans, and Asian Americans are some of the options on the list), the population of major cities, and more.

The Census is expected to be completed by June, in time for the bi-annual elections. The Census will be crucial to the distribution of House seats to each state and admittance of territories into states (as according to the Constitution, the districts of the House of Representatives are to be redrawn every twenty years after the Census is complete).

January 14th: President Toussaint of the Republic of Haiti approves the terms outlined by President Madison in the Treaty of Friendship between the two nations. The United States Federal Bank will loan $5 million to Haiti, with a 2% interest rate attached. America will receive Most Favorable Nation status in Haiti, and the two nations will establish close trade ties. Additionally, the United States government will send financial, agricultural, and industrial aid to the island nation in order to help with the reconstruction and revitalization of the Haitian economy.

January 21st: In preparation for the upcoming elections, the New York State Legislature passes an Act that will bring ranked-choice voting to its state. It will be the first state in the nation to do so (by this time, all the states use a first by the post system). Ranked-choice voting will be used by most of the states within twenty years' time.

January 25th: The first seeding machine is patented by Eliakim Spooner in Vermont.

February 3rd: The Tenth Congress of the United States is sworn in to preside over the Legislative body of the government.

Despite the fierce campaign by the Union Party, the Senate remains virtually unchanged. However, the Democratic Party loses one seat to the Frontier Party, thus creating a tie between the Republican-Democrat Coalition and the Unionist-Front Coalition. Despite this tie, the four parties will still cooperate with one another and work for compromises, thus preventing a deadlocked government.

United States Senate:
Yellow: Republican Party (14)
Red: Democratic Party (7)
Green: The Frontier Party (7)
Blue: Unionist Party (14)

In the House, the Whig Party is folded into the Union Party and the Front Party. In addition to this, the Unionist campaign (which claimed that they would've done a better job handling the crisis and prevented the crisis in the first place) sways the public, as "Unionist policies" help turn a struggling economy around. While President Madison is popular, the Republican and Democratic Parties are (ironically) blamed for causing the crisis in the first place. While the Republican Party will maintain the same amount of seats as before, the Democratic Party will lose several seats, tipping the balance of the House back into the hands of the Unionist-Front Coalition.

United States House of Representatives:
Yellow: Republican Party (49)
Red: Democratic Party (28)
Green: Frontier Party (34)
Blue: Union Party (47)
Grey: Independents (9)

February 10th: The Pennslyvania State Legislature implements ranked-choice voting for federal and state elections.

February 11th: Ohio formally petitions to be a state. After months of review, it is determined that the Ohio Territory meets all the requirements for statehood. Congress will now decide on the measure within sixty days.

February 20th: Congress organizes the Illinois Territory and the Wisconsin Territory into Organized Territories. They will both have a House seat in the upcoming 1800 federal elections. The ambiguous population data for the Missouri Territory means that the territory will not earn Organized status.

March 2nd: Anti-Monarchy Clubs riot across France once again, this time led by the "Friends of the Republic," which itself is led by Georges Danton, demands the immediate restoration of the republic and the end of the monarchy. King Louis, who is making power plays in the background, is discovered privately funding pro-monarchist candidates for the National Assembly. The Friends of the Republic and other Anti-Monarchy Clubs will make great efforts in order to subvert the king's authority and push forth pro-Republican candidates in the upcoming 1799 National Assembly elections (National Assembly terms are three years in length, with the last one being held in 1796).

At the same time, Lafayette, the father of the First French Republic, declares that he will step down from being Prime Minister even if the Girondins wins a majority in the National Assembly. Many expect that Jacques Pierre Brissot will take his place if the Girondins achieve another majority.

March 11th: The Sioux Free Nation carries out a surprise raid on several western settlements in the Wisconsin Territory. The raid catches many settlers there off guard and leads to the death of nearly one hundred Americans. The American government and the public are outraged by the senseless killing and approve the deployment of nearly five thousand more troops into the area. By the end of 1800, there will be around ten thousand American troops stationed in Wisconsin, and the future Anikegama state (the proposed name "Minnesota" was shot down by the locals and was replaced by Anikegama, which means "chain of lakes" in Ojibwe).

March 19th: The first American military advisors arrive in Haiti. The advisors will help shape the formerly guerilla force into a respectable army. Additionally, the establishment of trade between the two nations will see an increase in the traffic of American ships around Les Cayes. While Port-au-Prince is the bigger city and port, the presence of Spanish troops in the area will deter some American traders and investors from the city. Thus, Les Cayes will see rapid growth while Port-au-Prince lags behind.

March 29th: Congress grants Ohio statehood, making it the twenty-second state in the Union. The number of House seats will be determined by the Census. Its capital will be Cleveland, though they plan to construct a new capital towards the central area of the state.

April 2nd: Unfortunately for the Spanish authorities in Spanish Hispaniola (which has now been combined with the former northern parts of French Saint Domingue), the creation of the Haitian Republic in the south does not deter slaves from rebelling in the Spanish colony. April 2nd will mark the beginning of another long conflict (the Second Haitian Revolution) between Spanish soldiers and rebelling slaves (many which are supported by the Haitians down in the south). The rebellion begins as five slaves are massacred by French slave owners after attempting to flee to Haiti. In response, hundreds of slaves (mysteriously armed with firearms) rebel against the ruling authorities and attempt to liberate "all of French Saint Domingue under the banner of the Haitian Republic." The gruesome rebellion (which will remind the Spanish soldiers of the trauma they suffered against the Haitian rebels just two years before) will last seven years as Spain struggles to hold down its island colony from another wave of rebellion. While they will not accuse the free Haitians of supporting and inciting the rebellion, relations between the two will be extremely frosty, and only the presence of the United States will prevent Spain from outright invading the upstart republic. However, over the next seven years, Spanish soldiers will regularly cause incursions into the Republic of Haiti's territory.

April 9th: A controversial report published by an American merchant in China will provoke a hostile reaction from the American public. In the report, the merchant outlines Britain's operation of smuggling opium into China in order to gain an edge over American merchants and to make profits (exporting nearly 300 long tons of opium per year). It will also reveal the problems caused by opium, especially opium addiction, and will shed light on the dangers of allowing American traders to engage in the practice of exporting opium. President Madison declares that he will work closely with other government officials to prevent Americans from exporting drugs to other countries, while at the same time make private remarks to find a balance between the potential uses of drugs and the problems of drug addiction.

April 30th: A few weeks after President Madison's declaration, Congress passes the "Opium Regulation Act of 1799." The Act will specifically ban American traders from exporting opium into China. The sentence for breaching this Act will be a minimum of thirty years in federal prison without parole. However, the Act will also open up a possible avenue of American traders to instead sell opium domestically to the government (in a regulated manner) to be used for medicinal practices. With the passage of the "Medical Avenue Act of 1799," it will allow the federal government to oversee and develop potent drugs into pain killers. Opium will play a critical role in the creation of the earliest forms of morphine.

Due to this Act, many American traders opt to trade with the Lanfang Republic in order to trade for Asian goods. This will see a growing trading relationship between the two.

May 5th: Days after the approval of the Opium Regulation Act of 1799, Congress will approve the Medical Avenue Act of 1799, which will create the American Society of Medicine. The Society will be tasked with documenting the potential uses of different plants and drugs and submit a yearly report to Congress on its findings. Additionally, the Society will be tasked with speaking with medicine men and shamans of local American tribes to compare and collect knowledge about native plants and drugs in the United States. Also, the American Society of Medicine will be able to rank each type of drug and plant by the levels of uses and addictions, though Congress will not be able to ban drugs unless they can "cause immediate death or have no medicinal benefits." Cannabis will be one of the first drugs to be examined in detail by the Society, and it will be used for treating pain and PTSD in the near future.

In addition to the creation of the American Society of Medicine, the Medical Avenue Act will lead to the construction of more hospitals and clinics across the United States in an effort to improve the American people's health. The same Act will also create a new branch within ARPA: Medical Science Advancement branch. The MSA will oversee the evolution of medical theories, treatments, and doctrines. The first medical universities will also be set up by the federal government under the Act.

May 9th: Consent Executive Order #25 is issued by President Madison. C.E.O #25 is titled "Animal Preservation Act." It will detail the importance of conserving animal and plant species, as they may disappear due to overhunting or/and the rapid expansion of settlements. The president lists seals in Quebec and the Ontario Territory as an example, noting that the number of seals in the area has dropped dramatically due to the increase in trade with China (as Chinese traders accept seal pellets and furs as payment for Chinese goods). The dramatic decrease of the seal population is not unnoticed by locals and hunters, and the Department of Federal Lands and Resources provides an extensive report about their study of the near extinction of seals in the area (which they had carried out for nearly five years). In conjunction with this, ARPA will publish the "Food Chain Theory," which will see an increase in support from the American public (especially those on the East Coast) about the potential dangers of the extinction of different species. To make the Act palatable to western settlers and frontiersmen, the Act will mention that the government will allow the people to continue hunting, fishing, and collecting plants for their livelihood. However, the Department of Federal Lands and Resources will be allowed to ensure that certain species on the brink of extinction or near extinction are properly protected.

The Act will be approved by a close vote in Congress and declared as law. It will be one of the earliest movements to protect wildlife. The Act will also lead to the creation of the Wildlife Preservation Agency (WPA), under the control of the Department of Federal Lands and Resources.

May 15th: Israel Putnam, a hero of the American Revolutionary War and former Major General, dies at the age of eighty-two. He will be visited by the former soldiers under his command and by General Kim.

June 9th: After over a year of extensive effort, the 1800 Census is completed by the Department of Internal Affairs. The official demographics of the United States is as followed:

States:
Quebec: 312,119 (9 seats)
Nova Scotia: 98,300 (3 seats)
Iroquois (Haudenosaunee): 161,199 (5 seats)
New Hampshire: 139,921 (4 seats)
Massachusetts: 552,478 (16 seats)
Rhode Island: 76,243 (2 seats)
Connecticut: 279,129 (8 seats)
New York: 582,692 (17 seats)
New Jersey: 259,928 (8 seats)
Pennsylvania: 671,321 (20 seats)
Delaware: 71,029 (2 seats)
Maryland: 372,152 (11 seats)
Virginia: 835,671 (25 seats)
North Carolina: 429,889 (13 seats)
South Carolina: 328,107 (10 seats)
Kentucky: 281,233 (8 seats)
Hisigi: 72,826 (2 seats)
Vermont: 172,492 (5 seats)
Maine: 183,450 (5 seats)
Georgia: 145,229 (4 seats)
Florida: 139,219 (4 seats)
Ohio: 94,222 (3 seats)

Population of Official States: 6,258,849

Organized Territories:
Newfoundland and Labrador Territory: 30,204
Alabama Territory: 48,194
Illinois Territory: 59,271
Wisconsin Territory: 34,383
Michigan Territory: 67,012
Akansa Territory: 24,391

Unorganized Territories: 189,921
*Jefferson Territory: 32,110

Federal Districts:
Columbia.: 32,889
Bermuda: 11,252

Total US population: 6,789,136

*Jefferson Territory is not represented in Congress due to various legal issues.

Due to the Cube Root Rule, there will be one hundred and ninety-two seats in the House of Representatives (as there are six organized territories with a Representative in Congress, plus one for each Federal District). One House seat represents, on average, around 34,015 Americans. As twenty-two states are in the Union, there will be forty-four seats in the Senate. The minimum requirement for statehood is adjusted (72,000) to account for the growth of the American population. The US population shows significant signs of growth (in 1790, the population was 4,543,399). This is attributed to the improvement of farming efficiency, the constant influx of immigrants (the French Civil War and the First Coalition War, along with other wars, contributed to French, Italians, Germans, Poles, Austrians, and a number of other ethnic groups fleeing to the United States), improved infrastructure to settle the western lands, and a steady economy.

The ethnic demographics are as followed:

64% Whites (Americans with European descent, discounting Canadian Americans who are considered a distinct culture/identity)
20% African Americans
6% Canadian Americans (Quebecois)
5% Native Americans
4% Caribbean Americans (African Americans with Caribbean descent)
1% Asian Americans

Some of the biggest and most notable cities in the United States are as followed:

1) New York (NY): 100,212
2) Philadelphia (PA): 91,029
3) Baltimore (MD): 52,875
4) Boston (MA): 43,787
5) Columbia (FD): 32,889
6) Charleston (SC): 29,127
7) Quebec City (QB): 27,641
8) Lafayette (KY): 26,921
9) Albany (NY): 25,104
10) Montreal (QB): 21,458
11) Norfolk (VA): 18,099
12) Salem (MA): 16,374
13) Timstown (JF): 15,929
14) Sovtaj (FL): 15,711
15) Richmond (VA): 13,125
16) Xin (NY): 12,008
17) Onondaga (IQ): 10,355
18) Cleveland (OH): 9,457
19) Detroit (MI): 8,166
20) Toronto (QB): 7,611
21) Thaona (IQ): 5,293
22) Chota (HI): 5,104
23) Sainte-Anne-des-Pins (ON): 5,021
24) Buffalo (IQ): 4,094

June 19th: Major Jackson and Colonel Bonapart return from their Northwestern Expedition. They will return with a number of friendly natives curious about the life in the East Coast of the United States, the soldiers they originally departed with (which numbered around two hundred), and extensive information about the situation in the Unorganized Territories of the United States. This information will include friendly and hostile tribes, the approximate border of the Sioux Free Nation, the location of Spanish fortifications on the border, amongst other things. The two will be highly lauded as heroes and the Northwestern Expedition will become one of the most famous American expeditions in history books. Both will be honorably discharged upon their request for their service (though they will both rejoin the military in the future).

July 7th: The July Protests rock the Netherlands as William V, Prince of Orange, struggles to contain the growing Patriots movement in the country. Thousands of protesters take to the streets to fight against William's corruption and power in the government. The protests last for weeks before William V reluctantly passes several reforms to cede more power to the States-General of the Netherlands and also reduce corruption in government. However, this will hardly satisfy any Patriots, as they demand democratic reforms (influenced by the United States and France). For the time being, the Patriots will hold off on a full-scale revolt (as they are aware of Europe's general hatred for republics and fear a potential foreign intervention). That will change when King Louis is toppled and the Second Coalition War begins, which will lead to the establishment of the Holland Republic in 1807.

July 30th: Andrew Jackson and Nathaniel Bonpart declare their runs for the House of Representatives on the same exact day (North Carolina for Jackson, New York for Bonapart). There is a plethora of evidence that the two corresponded frequently and discussed political matters in their private journals and letters. Both of them will join the Union Party and will have a profound in American politics for years to come.

August 5th: Several people in the Jefferson Territory formally sue the federal government for denying rights (in particular, voting rights) to the inhabitants of the Territory (as Congress denied Organized Territory status to the Territory twice despite the fact that it met all the requirements needed for the status). The case will determine the fate of the thousands living in Jefferson.

August 21st: An improvement of the ARPA locomotive is tested and is able to chug along at five kilometers an hour across a hundred-yard track. ARPA believes that it will take several more years of design improvements to make the steam locomotive feasible for commercial and military use.

September 20th: The US Army violently clashes with Sioux warriors on the Bois de Sioux River, which results in the death of nearly fifty Americans and one hundred and fifty Sioux warriors. The soldiers that participate in the battle note that the Sioux are well-armed despite their relatively isolated nature. This does not lead to any immediate accusations, but the government starts to watch the area closely.

October 14th: The first miner's lamp is created by ARPA. This will improve the safety of miners, as it prevents the flame within the lamp from igniting flammable gas inside mines. By this time, ARPA is making a significant amount of money for the federal government and for itself. With the funding, ARPA decides to build a number of research labs across major urban areas and build its own school, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T).

October 15th: Austria enters into a secret agreement (The Berlin Agreement) with Prussia and Spain to suppress the French Republicans if King Louis is overthrown. Great Britain will also have a part in these talks, though they only show a slight interest in the whole affair.

November 1st: Virginia implements ranked-choice voting.

November 10th: King Jeonjo of Joseon dies under mysterious circumstances. His son, Sunjo, inherits the throne at the age of nine. Queen Jeongsun becomes Queen-Regent until Sunjo becomes of age.

December 10th: The elections for the National Assembly in France result in the Girondins maintaining a crucial majority in the legislative body. Jacques Pierre Brissot will be appointed as Prime Minister by a very disgruntled King Louis. The elections reveal a total blowout against Monarchist sympathizers, though news of mobs roaming around polling places to beat any Monarchists into submission stirs controversy (especially amongst the Orleanists).

1800:

January 1st: The new century begins in the United States, as many Americans remain optimistic about the country's future. However, all Americans are unaware of the storm that is about to approach the United States in the upcoming decades...

January 15th: "America the Beautiful" is approved as the National Anthem of the United States by Congress. The lyrics are as followed:

"O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
Oh, America! Sweet America!
God shed his grace on thee
And, crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
Oh, America! Sweet America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
Oh, America! Sweet America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
Oh, America! My America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!"

The lyrics and music were composed by none other than Samuel Kim, who submitted the song to Congress. The song was met with great approval by nearly all Congressmen when it was first submitted and was voted on quickly.

February 2nd: The Ottoman Empire pulls off a stunning victory against the Russian Empire in the Battle of Ochakov. After a year-long stalemate between the two powers, the Ottomans finally achieve a breakthrough. This begins the Ottoman Empire's slow crawl towards Crimea and Russia's bitter defense. This victory will also vindicate Sultan Selim and consolidate his power in his domain.

February 19th: Volta and a few members of ARPA place several arc lamps in the White House for the President's and his Cabinet's personal use. This will bring some amusement amongst the inhabitants and visitors of the White House since many are defective. However, the few that work will spark some interest in further improvements to the arc lamp by the upper levels of the US government.

March 1st: Barnaba Chiaramonti succeeds Pius VI as Pius VII. He is crowned on March 9th.

March 5th: Dantonists start a peaceful protest against the ruling Girondin government, as they believe that the Girondins are far too complacent due to their time in power. Some even fear that the Girondins will allow the King to gain strength if they maintain their own power in the government. The protests are carried out without problems and Bissot works to improve the policies of the Girondins while firmly declaring that they will not allow the King to wield any form of meaningful political power (which will upset the King, Monarchists, Orleanists, and a number of foreign factions).

March 19th: The USS Virginia catches on fire and explodes, killing over a hundred sailors. While hundreds survive the accident, many of them are heavily wounded. Congress immediately opens up an investigation about the causes of the fire and manages to discern that the fire began due to a negligent sailor who smoked on duty. The US Navy is forced to pay compensation for the sailors' death (though the remaining pensions will be paid out by the federal government) and also implement stricter regulations of on-duty behaviors.

Due to the deaths, Congress will authorize an emergency fund to relieve the family of the dead and treat the survivors for free. One of the sailors is awarded the Benedict Arnold Medal of Honor for bravely fighting the fire and saving three of his fellow sailors. His name is Reynold John Jones, a nineteen-year-old Seaman Apprentice (he decided to enlist instead of attending the Naval Academy to prove that he can exceed his father's reputation on his own).

April 4th: Congress authorizes the construction of a new USS Virginia. The new ship will be outfitted with the best upgrades possible and will be bigger than its predecessor.

April 19th: The Battle of Lake Shetek results in another bloody American victory. This time, the American Marines fight off the invading Sioux away from American territory. A force of five hundred Sioux Indians will fight against four hundred Marines, with a hundred pro-American Native American allies. Thirty-five Marines, fifty pro-American Native Americans, and a hundred and thirty Sioux Indians are casualties by the end of the fierce battle.

May 3rd: Samuel Kim begins a campaign to increase awareness of vaccines (especially smallpox vaccine) and make them more readily available. Through his efforts, nearly all of New York will be vaccinated after several years and the campaign will spread to the rest of the nation.

May 15th: The British Parliamentary Elections result in a sweeping victory for the Tories. William Pitt the Younger becomes the new Prime Minister and with the king's declining mental health, he will subtly influence the future King George IV. The Tories will also begin to enact more and more anti-American policies in order to fight against the expansion of American influence and economic power. They will also push Britain into war against Republican France during the Second Coalition War...

June 21st: Consent Executive Order #26: The Formation of the Anikegama Territorial Guard is publicized by President Madison. The Anikegama Territorial Guard will function similarly to the National Guard. However, they will be completely funded by the federal government. It will be tasked with assisting the American military in keeping peace in the area and to help establish closer relations between the United States and pro-Native American tribes. The Territorial Guard will eventually become the Anikegama National Guard after the territory reaches statehood. Congress will swiftly approve of C.E.O #26 after hearing the results of the Battle of Lake Shetek.

June 30th: The Battle of Yelisavetgrad (which is within Russian territory) results in an Ottoman victory. Shortly after this battle, the Russians will begin peace negotiations with the Ottoman Empire.

July 1st: The Act of Union with Ireland of 1800 passes in the British Parliament. The Act will enjoin Ireland with Great Britain, dissolving the Parliament of Ireland. However, the Tories will regularly oppress the Irish and refuse to make any further concessions or reforms. This will stoke anger amongst the Irish population.

July 5th: Michigan petitions for statehood, as it meets all the requirements to become a state. It will claim all the territories up to the Maumee River in the south.

August 6th: Constitution Day is celebrated across the United States, as the Constitution was ratified on August 6th of 1777. It will become a national holiday in 1838.

August 19th: The Treaty of Ochakov will end the First Crimean War, with the Ottoman Empire making notable gains. All territory west of the Dnieper River will be ceded to the Ottoman Empire and Russia will recognize the independence of a "neutral," smaller Crimean Khanate. The victory will be a major morale boost for the Ottoman Empire and cement the Sultan's power over the country.

September 1st: Congress approves of Michigan's request for statehood (and its claims), and Michigan becomes the twenty-third state in the Union. With a population of 83,394 people, Michigan is allocated two House seats and two Senate seats. This will bring up to the total number of Representatives to one hundred and ninety-three (along with forty-six Senators).

September 9th: A Spanish incursion into Haitian territory will lead to a diplomatic spat between Spain and Haiti. The United States tries to help settle the issue, but the two nations refuse to even enter talks with one another. The incursion will lead to Haitian soldiers pretending to be slave rebels in order to fight against Spanish soldiers.

September 27th: Mount Vernon officially becomes the headquarters of the National Intelligence Service. After the establishment of the NIS HQ at Mount Vernon, Washington famously says "Even in retirement, I can not escape my service to this country."

October 2nd: In River v. the United States, the Supreme Court rules (in a 6-3 ruling) that the inhabitants of the Jefferson Territory are Americans by law and deserve all the rights and liberties guaranteed to them by the Constitution. Additionally, not all those that live within the Territory are exiles (and the non-exiles make up approximately ten thousand people, which is the baseline for Organized Territory status). As such, it declares that the Jefferson Territory must be recognized as an Organized Territory as they fulfill all the requirements for the status and that a Representative from the Territory should be allowed to have a seat in the House. The ruling is met with mixed opinions, as some believe that the "rebels" deserve a chance to prove their loyalty to the US, while others want nothing with those that started an insurrection. Congress will reluctantly accept the ruling and allow Jefferson to have a seat in the House (and change its status into an Organized Territory). There will now be one hundred and ninety-four seats contested for the 1800 elections.

October 9th: The construction of a new federal university in Cleveland begins. The new university, named "Midwestern University," will serve as the main federal university for the inhabitants of Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and a few other nearby states.

November 4th: One hundred ninety-four seats in the House, along with five Senate seats (one from Maine, two from Ohio, and two from Michigan), are contested. The presidential race is all but guaranteed for Madison, as he is a popular president with significant backing from the public. He wins re-election in a landslide, winning 161 electoral votes out of 232. The ranked-choice voting system in Pennsylvania, New York, and Virginia will lead to very interesting election results from those states...
