I live in a state that has given all of the electoral college votes to a Republican since Nixon. Seeing a lot of Harris signs instead of Trump and early voting leaning Dem nationwide makes me motivated to vote instead of feeling completely defeated like in prior years.
Not that I think Harris will take the state, but that there is a chance.
I was going to guess Texas and say there’s a chance, but apparently Texas went to Carter. So one of the midwest states. Still…turnout could make a difference, I’d have to dig in real deep to see how many of the elections for all those states were close wins, even if they all went Republican. The advantage of some of them is the population, your vote there could count a lot more to push over the edge than in a populated state.
Can’t change it if you don’t actually vote. It also still ticks the popular vote up one more.
I can’t see how hearing “D is up 2x over R” doesn’t help R more than D at this stage in the race.
And yet, some things are.

Counterpoint: I live in NYC and have seen more Trump signs and merch than I am comfortable with
I live in the DC area. It’s the same even though I know it’s a solid blue area for like a 30 mile radius
