If we get Iowa and NE2, we probably get Ohio, too. |

2016 repeat, basically. If PA and MI go Biden and WI goes Trump, they might be in a 269-269 situation (if Biden wins all of ME and Trump wins all of NE). WI is the closest of the 3 midwestern swing states. If the rest of the map stays the way it was in 2016, the winner needs to get all 3 of those states. If D’s can get AZ, they have a little more breathing room and can lose any one of them (but not two or more) and still win. |
This is my dream map. A total wipeout that Trump can't contest and that will trigger the inevitable GOP abdication -- "I never really supported Trump, just the policies blah blah blah." |
This map is Biden winning everything state that is in play. Would love for Biden to break 400 and humiliate Trump. That would require Texas, Georgia, and Ohio. |
| And Florida -- and I'm simply not convinced DeSantis will allow that. |
most recent senate poll has cunningham at 48% and tillis at 38%. cooper has consistently been leading dan forest. if NC goes blue, i think there needs to be a reframing of the down ballot candidates not carrying presidential tickets logic (the current logic is that this only happens in reverse). |

I think Biden realistically has a spread from about a 278 worst case scenario to a feasible ceiling of 351.
I think the Dems will make Texas competitive--already have--but I'm not comfortable putting it ultimately in the win category for them. I'm also not sure if they can actually pull off a Georgia win. Since the switch happened (aka Southern states stopped going Democratic) in about 1968, Georgia has gone blue 3 times: 1976: D+36 <-- Carter 1980: D+15 <-- Carter 1992: D+1 <-- Clinton Both are obviously from the South; Carter is obviously from GA. Texas has gone blue once since 1968: 1976: D+4, Carter These two states have NEVER gone blue without a candidate from the south. Clinton got Texas close (R+3 in 92 and R+5 in 96) but he couldn't pull off the win. So while it's not impossible, it would be an unprecedented feat for a guy from PA/Delaware to win those states. |

I'm in PA and so nervous. These maps cheer me up but I worry about what's to come.

DeSantis is forcing the state to open totally; I shudder to think of the kind of death and sickness that will descend upon that state in the next few months. I don’t think he can guarantee Florida for Trump. |

Polling released today suggest IA, SC, OH are in play for Biden. So for the map posted at 20:36 above, that would be (+AZ) 336 to 232. Texas is in play as well. If that turns, it gets epic.
Alas... |
I do not envy voters in PA. I will be shocked if there are no ugly scenes at polling stations. |
I would love to see Texas go to Biden because it would force Republicans to go back to normal good governance instead of this strong man pseudo-dictatorship. |
I read an article saying OH is the one to watch on election night. If it goes blue, indicates a Biden win. |
