Another interesting thing is that this potential “tie” map would have represented a LOSS to Republicans in 2004. But all the states in it gained a cumulative 8 EVs since 2004, so the EV total moved up from 261 to 269. (Ohio itself lost 2 EVs, making it a little less of a pickup for the Dems.)
That’s what high income taxes and abortion’ll do to your blue areas on the map.
