I think we'll probably see it next Monday. He released the 2012 one on June 7th and the 2016 one toward the end of June, so we're already getting pretty late.

I don't mind the model as much as I mind the god awful appearance of it as a whole.

I don't mind the model as much as I mind the god awful appearance of it as a whole.

I actually like the winding path of electoral votes that visualises the idea of the tipping point state, and it probably is more effective at showing where the race stands than a map where the two sides are at roughly similar land area even if they are at very different levels of electoral votes.

I like that too. They had something like that in their 2016 model I believe. But as a whole, I just find this model's look to be a little oversaturated. I'm also not a big fan of having to continuously scroll down to view different aspects of the model, I prefer tabs to take you to different pages instead (like in their 2016 one.)
