Still some uncertainty because we're months from election day, guess that makes sense

No way lol. Nate Silver is just on crack this year. Just look at the n=100 sample scatter for each state. One of them is an outlier so preposterous that they built the model to make the distributions more platykurtic on purpose.

West Virginia. Enough said

A lot going on here. Any potential scenarios? Atlanta gets hit by a meteor and Utah and Alaska offer a program to re-house the entire population, but for some reason, half get stuck en route in Mississippi?

I get that there'll be more Biden win maps than Trump win maps,  simply because they show more Biden win maps,  but it seems strange that there don't seem to be many crazy Trump win maps - something like Trump winning Illinois and losing Indiana, or winning New Jersey and losing Ohio.
