OK ran some analysis... Based off the 538 model, I did an amateur Monte Carlo Analysis. Here's what I came up with for win probability:

George 23%
Winston 33%
Don 10%
Dale 32%
Mike 1%

The swingiest state by far is Florida. It basically determines Winston's fate. If Florida swings R, he pretty much wins it. If it swings D, he pretty much can't win it.

If Don runs the table, he ~50/50 of winning it all

George needs to hit Texas to have a shot, prob ~50/50.

Dale is all over the place... took a lot of shots and now sits back and hopes some hit.

Mikey didn't take enough shots.

Welcome to the 2020 Electoral College Draft! Combining fantasy sports with current events.

Rules of the game: We will have five people drafting 8 rounds for a total of 40 picks. We will be drafting a state and a party. For instance, Rhode Island-R. For each correct selection, we will get the number of points equal to that state's electoral college votes. The player with the most points at the end will win the prize.

**California has been removed from the game to be fair**
