UT is probably a 67% landslide in Salt Lake County, 75% in Summit and >55% in Grand with a narrow flip in San Juan while still losing everything else?

OK would be landslides in Oklahoma, Tulsa, and Cleveland counties, and a narrow win in Comanche while losing everything else.  Muskogee and Cherokee will probably be long gone for Dems by the next time a statewide win is possible.

I made a map for each of the states, but I can't figure out how to upload it here. How do you do that?

For Wyoming, the starting point of reference would probably be the 2002 gubernatorial map (which produced a result of D+2).

Upload it to imgbb and then post the links here.

I don't know about that, things have changed a lot since then. For example, there's no way a victorious Democrat in 2019 would be below 60% in Teton County. Gary Trauner just cracked 60% there despite getting obliterated statewide against Barrasso.

As someone who (for obvious reasons) has spent a lot of time fantasizing about Democrats actually winning his state: blow the GOP out in Teton and Albany Counties while winning Laramie County, turning out Native Americans on the Wind River Reservation, and keeping GOP margins in Natrona down as much as possible. It's not that unfathomable of a strategy, given that Cheyenne has been slowly trending D in recent years, but I'm going to hasten to add that this would still be an absurdly narrow victory.
