At the time, I said, “all who feel certain about how Election 2020 will be resolved” should visit that page for “a rare but welcome acknowledgment of uncertainty.”[2]

As it turned out, several states on the list ended up in the Trump column, and several others went to Biden. A few remain uncalled at this time. That split speaks to the quality of the RCP ratings.
