Red states to swing states? [View all]

This election may surprise us. There are a few red states which might be in play for the Democrats.

Wouldn't it be interesting if, for example, Ron Desantis has to certify Harris Walz as President/VP elect for Florida? Or Greg Abbott in Texas?

I relish the thought!
