Assuming that there is no popular vote landslide, neither party can win below 206 electoral votes. The Cook PVI gives the Republicans and the Democrats both 206 votes that are reasonably comfortably on their side (R/D+3 or more- meaning 6 point victories or more). Ten states and one divided district (Maine's second) are between D+2 and R+2 and decide which party can get to 270 (or 332). Given that both sides have exactly 206 "in the bag", these states will perfectly decide an election:
Incorrect.
