In response to "Question: any of the usual swing states have primaried yet? Those are the ones I want to see if one or another energize the base. (NM)" by Marlowe

Minnesota went for Clinton over Trump but not by tons, and it is akin in many ways to Wisconsin and Michigan which flipped to Trump.

However, Minnesota had a caucus in 2016 (favors Sanders, and he won it) to a primary this year. Biden won. Can't really compare it apples to apples though.

North Carolina has been swingy over this century. In the 2016 primary, it went 54.5 Clinton - 40.9 Sanders.

With 77% counted tonight, it's 41 Biden, 24 Sanders, 14 Bloomberg 11 Warren.

Three Rust Belt blue 'firewall' states that flipped Dem to Trump in 2016 costing Clinton the election:
Wisconsin - votes April 7
Pennsylvania - votes April 28
Michigan - votes March 10

And perennial swing/problem/joke Florida March 17
