The U.S. is very big, sometimes it's hard to remember where the majority of people resides esp when a small state like Massachusetts has the same slots as a larger state of Arizona. Attacked is a map, from the 2020 censuses that took effect last year, of how much MoC spots there are per state, and it does seem like the bigger states (Cali, NY, TX, FL) haven't seen the flood of people as other states.
@ARMARINE03 son took one of the spots in Arkansas (4) for sure! This should explain why the Northeast, and the two coasts in general, have seen little action. There's way more people in these states, meaning way more applicants, slates, and puzzle pieces...
