Last week I asked each state... "Which border state is your fiercest rival?"
There were only seven rivalries in which both states chose each other with a majority vote.
#1 - North Dakota vs. South Dakota
#2 - Michigan vs. Ohio
#3 - North Carolina vs. South Carolina
#4 - Washington vs. Oregon
#5 - Texas vs. Oklahoma
#6 - New Jersey vs. New York
#7 - Georgia vs. Florida

Footnotes:
- For AK, HI, and ME I added a few "nearby" states since the number of border states is <2.
- This is not scientific. (Particularly because voting for each state was open to everyone!)
