1960: Nevada (Nixon probably should've won that given the results of the surrounding states)

1964: Florida (I'm surprised Florida held for Johnson given the results of it's neighbors)

1968: Pennsylvania (I recently saw a 1968 election coverage, and it was thought Nixon needed PA to have a serious chance of winning, of course that was wrong)

1972: Massachusetts

1976: Virginia (I definitely think Carter should've won that)

1980: Hawaii (Not flipping after also being very close in 1976)

1984: Minnesota

1988: Maryland (Really feels like Dukakis should've won it)

1992: New Hampshire (That shift is wild)

1996: Arizona (Voted left of both Nevada and Colorado)

2000: Tennessee (Gore really had no excuse of losing the state)

2004: New Mexico (Given the results of the next several elections afterwards, kinda surprising it didn't vote for Kerry in hindsight)

2008: Indiana (Probably the biggest upset this century so far)

2012: Florida (Going Obama after Romney was widely expected to win there)

2016: Wisconsin (The state that surprised me the most)

2020: Ohio (Lost it's bellwether streak and wasn't even close)
