Afternoon Update #3

Now it seems that my 311-227 alternate prediction is starting to look better. But, still way to go.
An aclaratory note as well. Some people asked me why I have the Democrats in red and the Republican in blue. The answer is that before 1996, most of the networks usually assigned those colors. Something happened in 1996 and now we call the Republican states as red (maybe because of red meat?) and the Democrat states blue (maybe because of blue blood?) - who knows.
I decided to stick to tradition (I've always used the colors I'm using today) and the website from where I get the maps, also uses these colors.
