GOP:
1968: Pennsylvania (It was thought Nixon needed this state to have a good chance, that wasn't the case but this was still kind of a disappointing result for Nixon) 1972: Massachusetts (Only state Nixon didn't win) 1976: Texas (If Ford had won this state, he would've been on the right track) 1980: Hawaii (Didn't flip despite also being very close in 1976) 1984: Minnesota (Only state Nixon didn't win) 1988: Iowa (Massive shift left) 1992: New Hampshire (True sign for the Northeast going forward) 1996: Florida (A big state they failed to hold) 2000: Pennsylvania (Could've went Bush had he picked Ridge, 2000 results with FL and PA swapped would've been 269-269 and Bush wins through the house) 2004: Wisconsin (Bush was the slight favorite here throughout most of the campaign but it just failed to show up for Bush) 2008: Indiana (Biggest proof that 2008 was a very bad year for the GOP) 2012: Ohio (Was widely thought Romney needed this) 2016: Minnesota (McMullin pulled in more votes than Clinton's margin of victory) 2020: Pennsylvania (Similar to Ohio 2012)
Dem:
1968: Ohio (Would've put Humphrey on a better track) 1972: Minnesota (Closest state Nixon won) 1976: Virginia (The only southern state Carter didn't win) 1980: New York (Carter probably would've won this state if not for Anderson) 1984: Massachusetts (Closest state Reagan won) 1988: Michigan (Would've put Dukakis on a good track) 1992: Florida (Just about failed to show up for Clinton) 1996: Colorado (Feels like Clinton should've held it) 2000: Tennessee (Had Gore won his own home state, Florida doesn't matter) 2004: Ohio (Kerry would've won the election had he won here) 2008: Missouri (Obama came 4,000 short) 2012: North Carolina (Only swing state Obama lost) 2016: Wisconsin (Most unexpected of the three Rust Belt states to flip) 2020: Florida (The only swing state where Trump did better than he did in 2016)
