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)
