This results may look interesting, but they don't really tell us very much. As muon was saying, you basically just flip every county except for a few high vote margin counties for the winner, such that this is equivalent to the margin of victory the loser had in the counties that they won. The maps are not at all realistic because they have utterly bizarre non-uniform swings.

Can we do uniform swings for every county? For example, the only counties that would flip are the counties that have a lesser margin than the state margin. I think that would be more interesting.
