Florida goes to Trump.
With Florida’s coronavirus cases peaking and declining, Trump demonstrating a willingness to take viral containment seriously, and with anxiety around viral transmission subsiding, Florida no longer sees a reason to switch to Biden.

Context. Florida coronavirus new cases / day.
Remdesivir gets lukewarm endorsement from experts who believe trials of the drug had limitations and the drug shows little and uncertain efficacy.
Yet the US FDA approved it to treat COVID-19, and no one at NIH, CDC, FDA, or the geniuses in the media (along with their many college educated followers) is as outraged by this as they are about other potential treatments also supported by limited studies.
I wonder why.
Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, explains the Hydroxychloroquine situation in such a way that even college educated dummies might understand, though I’m doubtful.
The best debates are won through attrition; a memento for next time.
Avoid them, but if they happen, make sure they happen.

New Hampshire goes to Biden.
Not sure what happened, but I think I made a mistake tracking New Hampshire the last couple of maps, so this isn’t so much a real change as it is me correcting an error I made.

So on the topic of sudden universal vote-by-mail changes. I wrote this in response to another post, but I’ll put here it here as well.
Generally speaking, while I’m not against vote-by-mail, as I’m also a registered absentee voter, this could be a big mess for many voters who aren’t already voting absentee, and don’t already have their ducks in order.
California law requires that your signature on file match the signature on the envelope. Where the signature on file does not match the signature on the envelope, the vote will be rejected. This happened to Rushna because she recently updated her driver’s license, and her signature had changed enough for her ballot to be rejected.
When voting in person, you verbally identify your name at the beginning off a list of names they have, which they then cross off, are handed a ballot, and vote. If any issues do arise, and you can’t confirm your identity, you go home, get documentation, and try again. It’s resolved before you cast your ballot.
For possibly many whose signature on file may be old or outdated at the office, but who haven’t encountered that problem before because they’ve always voted in person, this may be a potential problem.
If you’re going to vote by mail and previously haven’t, I recommend re-registering and providing a fresh signature on the voter registration to avoid having your ballot rejected.
So again, while I’m not against vote-by-mail, this may cause issues on a large enough scale to matter that regular voting or even prior absentee voting may not.
Some additional context.
Universal absentee voting may actually benefit Trump.
