Would it be feasible to calculate the results on a county-by-county basis?

Some larger states may have a large metropolitan area which "carries" the state, while leaving a lot of suburban or rural areas under-served. By using county lines as the boundary for analysis, we can more easily find under-served regions without worrying about a metropolitan area carrying a state. Except for a small number of extraordinarily large counties in the Rockies, having one FRC team per county wouldn't be too far of a commute for its members.
