Kind of beautiful being able to look at blue Wisconsin and Michigan again. The 2016 map is so ugly.
Wisconsin is by no means definitely blue. A win by only 21,000 with many questions around absentee and mail in votes leaves plenty of room during the recount for this to swing back to Trump.

Given the corruption that has occurred down at the Detroit vote counting centre, this race will be going on for a while to come.
Not even scott walker is buying this argument.

These results confuse me. If the largest states trended against Biden (some even swung against him like FL and IL), how did the Electoral/Popular Vote gap grow? Where did he gain votes?
Turnout, and for the gap trends don't matter but swings(because trends negate changes in the popular vote making it meaningless when assessing the popular). The California swing was minimal and he massilvey boosted turnout there increasing his national popular vote margin. He also got a lot of swings in deep red states that don't help him in the EC but boost his popular vote.

WV swung towards biden.
