Every Princeton Election Consortium swing state is blue except North Carolina. It doesn't get much prettier than that, wouldn't you agree?

The shapes of the states and the country as a whole make everything seem... off, somehow.

Actually, what is distorting everything supposed to tell us? The relative EV strength of each state?

I was so proud of North Carolina last time, but the rural areas are big in "values". I was caught in a horrible traffic jam when the chick-fil-a thing happened. I was ready to move!
