Here are a couple of ones that stand out to me:

-Florida (You'd think they'd be far ahead of similar "Northern transplant" heavy states like NC or VA).
-Indiana (Has the same amount of "South lite" areas like Ohio and the same amount of "industrial" areas but consistently votes to the right of Ohio).
-Nebraska (Omaha and Lincoln are bigger than any city in Iowa and they have similar mixes of people/economies/rural v. urban areas as Iowa yet votes much more to the right).

Ooh, I forgot Texas, but there's an easy explanation for that. While most tend to see Latinos as one unified bloc, in Texas, a lot of Latinos are Tejanos that have practically assimilated (while still hanging on to their heritage) and joined the the majority.

Also Nevada, it’s surprising that a state that’s so urban and diverse would be so republican (though still democratic leaning)

Texas, Georgia, Arizona are the most obvious ones.

Maybe Oklahoma should be mentioned.

I would say you have Nebraska backwards.  It is surprising that Iowa is not more republican.
