Looking at the map, the U.S. could be a solidly blue country by giving the vote to elk, bison, grizzlies, and polar bears, and letting Mormon Utah be its own country like it's always wanted to be...
You do make an assumption about the political sympathies of the elk, bison, etc. Just because the Democrats are more likely to vote pro-environment, doesn't mean that those creatures would vote in their own self-interest.
Perhaps it's a subject for future poll question.
You only have the convince their top guys, and the rest will vote with the herd...pretty fair description of Utah, too! :)
