10. The media seems reticent to even do that here in PA as well

despite the fact that when 45 won in 2016, we hadn't voted for a GOP President since 1988.

But in the case of NC, the last blue vote for President was Obama in 2008 and they only FINALLY broke the legislative super-majority, finally putting a tiny dent in their nasty gerrymandering last year IIRC (yay).

You have a bunch of weird states like VT, New Jersey and even NY that rotate governors by party too.

There are also a bunch of purple states that get "reddened" by the media (including AZ, MI and WI) again with them only looking at Presidential elections to make that assessment.
