If online poker were legal in a State, don't you think the Governor, Attorney General or Sec. of State would have announced that by now, and made big news doing so?

What are you talking about? I'm assuming the federal wire act doesn't apply to poker. If that is true how many states have explicitly outlawed online poker, as washington has?

You asked for a count of States with illegal online poker and that is around fifty; I was giving you one thought experiment to help you see that.

This is a different question - there are about 10. Around 40 have implicitly made it unlawful since it is not authorized gambling.

Utah was left off the list that was linked a few posts up.
