More maps!
I asked you to send me your electoral college maps.
Today's is from reader Tiffany Shapiro, who says she's very anxious about the result.
"I feel fairly confident/hopeful that Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania will go blue. I don't have confidence in the rest of the states, so that gives at least 270 to 268. Which feels like civil war," Tiffany writes.
"I'd love a decisive victory with a lot of cushion."
