I think Minnesota is definitely not to the right of Wisconsin, and Texas and Alaska should probably be ahead of Missouri. Pennsylvania will probably be the tipping point state though.

Is anyone else having problems, or is it just me ?

I like it.  The order of states notwithstanding, it's an easy way to see the tipping point state.

It's a cool idea, and fairly accurate. Only Minnesota really stands out for being out-of-place.

Probably due to lack of polling.

The hilarious thing is the snake almost follows the exact ordering of states I'd like to live in.

That's the saddest thing I've ever heard.

Snakes aren't horrible, they're just venomous. This one is non-venomous though. You could safely keep it as a pet, if you just gave it enough to eat. Smiley

(I can see the image now. Thanks for the fix.)
The snake does look quite accurate.
Not sure if I agree with the location of NE-02 and Minnesota.

Overall, I like the snake.

But Utah kind of messes it all up this year. There's no good place to put it, really.

Minnesota is in that position because its third most recent poll was from September, when Gravis apparently found Trump and Hillary tied - and also the lack of data points means the predicted range of the candidate's vote share is a lot wider than in most other states

Seems plausible, though I think Minnesota and Nevada should be a bit higher.

This one is polls-plus, to be clear.
