But CA-NV wouldn't be the longest border between two states, straight or
not. The OK-TX border for a good distance is the meandering Red River.
There's no basis to say that doesn't count as distance and that one should
draw an imaginary "straight" line instead to cut the corners. The boundary
is the boundary line itself.
What is the length of the CA-NV boundary and the OK-TX boundary?

CANV is certainly the straight-line champ. If we "go fractal" maybe
ID-MT, OK-TX, or even VA-WV would take the cake.
