I have a weird feeling that Georgia, Pennsylvania, or Michigan might decide to go the Nebraska route and split the baby instead of giving any one candidate all the electoral votes.
They'll say, "It's hopeless trying to sort the good ballots from the bad, so we'll give Trump an elector for each district he won, and Biden an elector for each district he won, and give each an elector because the state vote was so close."
I don't know how the math would work on on that because all the websites post data by county, not congressional district.
Generally, I think all states should switch to this method, but I suspect that one or more swing states might switch this one time for cynical reasons: they already did the math and know that Biden wins if they split the vote. Otherwise they wouldn't do it. It will give Biden the win (possibly) and take the wind out of fraud claims because the fraud only caused Biden to win bigger in districts he would have won anyway.
