There are no polls showing Biden ahead in Mississippi. He is behind by several points at least there.

He MIGHT be competitive in South Carolina and Indiana.

He will lose West Virginia for sure.

No way. That might be the worst state in the country for Trump lovers. (Unfortunately, some of them moved to Ohio too, like others from the adjacent red states.)

It's anecdotal, of course, but ALL of them were boisterous Trump lovers.

They just had to leave their home state to try to f**k up others, I guess.

If there's any year we can do that, it will be this one. They're on the defensive, keep pushing. Don't give an inch.

It will benefit downticket races, which is super important in a re-apportionment year.

Yes, it's possible Biden goes over 400 electoral votes (being potentially ahead in Texas, Arizona, and Georgia, not to mention the traditional swing states), but there is not ONE poll (to my knowledge) with him leading in Indiana, Mississippi, West Virginia, or South Carolina.

I know some here have said it's trolling, but it's so easily refuted in those four states' cases, that I'm not sure I see the point. However, if it pisses off Trump and forces them to waste money, I guess I have no problem. More power to 'em

It would make more sense to turn Missouri blue, but that probably won't happen either. It's FAR more probable than a state like West Virginia, though.

Utahns love Mitt Romney, who has been the target of Trump’s wrath on numerous occasions.
