> Wisconsin is now marked as flip on the map on cnn's website
“Flip” is a state called in 2020 for the opposite party that won it in 2016; it's an indicator of changes in the electoral map. Wisconsin has been marked that way from when it was first called.
From the page you cited:
"Flipped seat" denotes a race where the 2020 projected winner is from a different party than the previous winner or incumbent.
You're probably right. I misread that. Sorry.
However a gap of only 20k votes. 99% votes in out of 3.2 mil So up to ~300K still left to count.
And still conceivable it could flip on recount if its close.
> And still conceivable it could flip on recount if its close.
No, no it will not. Here is the REPUBLICAN former governor of Wisconsin explaining why a recount won't change anything. The last two recounts changed the margin by 300 and 131 votes respectively. Nowhere close to the 20k required.

No, 1% of 3.2 million is 32,000 not ~300,000.
So, to make up a 20K deficit, the remaining ballots would need to break about 4:1 for Trump. (And the realistic shift for a recount is small enough, that it isn't meaningfully different if you were only concerned with what it would take for it to be within that range, either.)

Sure, if it was within a couple hundred votes, it might. But it isn't, and it won't be.
