Fucking VERMONT 😭 I knew it when I saw it at the end, but I was sitting there like "vvvvvv..... VVVVVVV-SOMETHING"

I ended up with pretty much all the west half of the country, and it got progressively more sparse from there. Basically anything further east than Texas I had maybe half a dozen or so, and the rest I just couldn't find in my head.

I knew one of them started with G from the US elections, but couldn't get to Georgia 🀦 Oh well.

Vermont I did get thanks to a comedian, I think it's Tommy Johnagin. He does a bit talking about Texas and how it's not uncommon to hear something like "we're gonna beat your ass, Texas style", and then points out no other state says that, like you won't hear someone say "we're gonna beat your ass, Vermont style".

Odd things that stick with you that help with trivia πŸ˜‚
