Monday News Fix

Show me your maps!

If you're like me, you have spent an unhealthy amount of time obsessing over the Electoral College map at 270toWin.com.

With about a week to go, here's my latest version: Kamala Harris wins with 302 electoral votes to Trump's 236.

I think Harris will win Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia and flip North Carolina. I'll probably change my mind in about 10 minutes.

I want to know what you think will happen next week.

Send me your maps at schott@utahpoliticalwatch.news. I'll share them throughout the week.
