This question regards the order of state margins in the 2024 election:
Current order per https://manifold.markets/election
Lean Dem:
CO: 88% D
NH: 85% D
ME: 84% D
NM: 79% D
MN: 79% D
VA: 78% D
Swing states:
MI: 55% D
PA: 51% D
WI: 50% D
NV: 58% R
GA: 59% R
AZ: 59% R
NC: 67% R
Lean R:
OH: 85% R
FL: 90% R
TX: 93% R
AK: 93% R
IA: 93% R
This will resolve as yes if any Lean Dem state votes more Republican than a swing state OR if any Lean Rep State votes more Democratic than a swing state.
Motivation for this question:
Nate Silver gave TX/FL 2/3% chance of being the tipping point, this is low compared to >10% each in 538s model.
JHK is more in line with 538s view (8-9%), but Nate Silver is highly respected. Is he right?
If this question resolves no, a consequence would be that the tipping point state must be one of the 7 swing states or ME-2 or NE-2 (which are ignored for this question)
Made a different version of this market that uses the median swing state margin instead of any swing state

Yeah, yeah, whatever's used for tipping point calculations.
