A few notable, historically red counties I think Biden has decent-to-excellent chances to flip blue: Maricopa, AZ Butte, CA Seminole, FL Ada, ID Dallas, IA Johnson, KS Kent, MI Morris, NJ New Hanover, NC Collin, TX Tarrant, TX Williamson, TX Chesterfield, VA Spokane, WA — PolitiTweet.org

If that turns out to be true, Biden would likely be the first Dem to *narrow* the Whole Foods/Cracker Barrel gap in three decades. https://t.co/5WSqdiXgoz — PolitiTweet.org

By contrast, if Trump were to win 100% of non-college whites and nothing else changed, he'd win every state except California, Hawaii, Maryland and New York (and DC of course). https://t.co/S0rvB5Hbk8 https://t.co/5YxGdYayuy — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting fact: if Biden were to win 100% of white college grads and nothing else changed, he'd win every state except West Virginia and Wyoming. https://t.co/Gmbkw4Vo0G https://t.co/Op7PBvako2 — PolitiTweet.org

@BenWessel There's a terrific age slider at the @NBCNews version! https://t.co/Kv7mouJ2Wt — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Wondering why the default setting is Biden 307, Trump 231? Answer: if 2016's results by race/education were adjusted for the last four years' population change, Trump would lose. https://t.co/Ov3KKRB8Vk https://t.co/hsm5xryugR — PolitiTweet.org

However, our goal w/ both features - the @NBCNews one designed for a wide audience and the @CookPolitical version designed for super-nerds - is to allow readers to visualize how Electoral College battlegrounds move together (or not). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

A caveat: demographic swings are never perfectly uniform and there's no perfect way to micro-segment the electorate. For example, if we had separate sliders for Hispanics of Mexican vs. Cuban ancestry, it'd be a lot easier to move AZ to the left of FL (as current polls show). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

At 100% turnout (and w/ no changes to groups' margins), Biden wins AZ/FL/MI/WI/NE02 but loses PA. Shows you just how many non-college whites there didn't vote in 2016. — PolitiTweet.org

It also wouldn't have come together so well without graphic/web design by Harvard econ/applied math student Leo Saenger, @saengerleo and @CookPolitical's secret weapon, web editor Ally Flinn @alflinn. Thanks all. 👏👏👏 — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

This project wouldn't have come to life had I not been approached over the summer by Stanford student and data-viz/cs/math savant Sophie Andrews, @sandrews121. (Strange coincidence: I attended her parents' wedding in NJ when I was 14. Now I'm 36 and I'm feeling really old!) — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Like the @NBCNews interactive, the @CookPolitical tool allows you to build & share your own maps. It also has some extras for election *super-nerds:* 1) Real-time raw popular vote tally 2) Real-time red/blue state shading 3) Dynamic table w/ state-level demographic breakdowns — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Have you ever wondered what the 2020 map might look like if: - Biden restores Black turnout to Obama-era levels? - Trump does better w/ Hispanics than last time? - College-educated whites swing to Biden? Now you can choose your own adventure! at either @NBCNews/@CookPolitical. https://t.co/xSarY4Q7ki — PolitiTweet.org
