52 states?
When an article about US voting starts by stating there are 52 states it immediately loses any credibility. I didn't bother reading any further. I apologise if you did actually make a reasoned cogent argument, but since you are getting the most fundamental and basic facts about the country wrong I don't hold much hope.
To put it as simply as possible, there are 50 states! The last one to joint the union was Hawaii in 1959, hence Hawaii-Five-O!
There are some other non state jurisdictions that vote, such as Washington DC, but I will say again there are ONLY 50 states. I would ask anyone who things differently to please list all 52.
