You put Illinois in blue when it should be red in your color scheme. 
I believe that's 284 electoral votes for the Democrat running in 2020, which agrees with Meet the Press on NBC today which made a similar count.
Not only Florida but North Carolina is problematic because of the uncontested races that would boost the party not leading otherwise. So although NC shows Republicans leading, the vote in the district uncontested would probably change those results, if no votes were counted in that district Tuesday.
What is striking is how limited the blue wave was (using the usual reversed color scheme from your map). It washed up mainly in blue states, and the country remains strongly divided.
