If you tally up the solid blue states and add a few that lean blue (leaving out true swing states like OH and FL), Democrats have an EV base of around 250, which means in coming elections they have many more paths to victory. If we win the solid blue states we only have to win maybe one of the true swing states and one of the others that are "pale blue" (like Iowa, which leans blue but is not toally out of play).
