1 Follow the link for a detailed explanation on how to read the Electoral College Spectrum.

2 The numbers in the parentheses refer to the number of electoral votes a candidate would have if he or she won all the states ranked prior to that state. If, for example, Clinton won all the states up to and including Wisconsin (Trump's toss up states through Wisconsin), she would have 278 electoral votes. Clinton's numbers are only totaled through the states she would need in order to get to 270. In those cases, Clinton's number is on the left and Trump's is on the right in bold italics.

3 Wisconsin
 is the state where Trump crossed the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidential election, the tipping point state. The tipping point cell is shaded in yellow to denote that and the font color is adjusted to attempt to reflect the category in which the state is.
