Ok, fair point, lol.
Comment on YSK most US states assign their electoral college votes by the state's popular vote

Not to nitpick, because I completely support what you’re saying, (EVERYBODY VOTE!!!) but, I don’t think it’s mathematically possible for EVERY district to go red and the electorals go blue.

Theoretically the electorals could go blue without winning any districts. It would require a third party to win at least one district though.

Not nationally, but because Maine uses both Instant runoff voting for presidential elections, and the Congressional district method of assigning electors, it’s mathematically possibly for Maine to split its electors 2-2. eg, the Republican wins both districts individually, while the Democrat wins statewide. Not this year though – needs a competitive 3-way race so the runoffs matter.

He should have said almost every.
But thanks for pointing out the mathematical truth ☝️
