Bug when buying ads or making speeches, the state polls often get mixed up, i.e. in California polls show up when candidate is in Ohio. Rare but it happens, no impact on game just annoying

I like this, great idea!
Same problem with Texas when playing as Trump vs Biden (happens on occasion). This issues seems to fix itself when restarting the game. Very annoying. I tried the same things you did and tried operatives, speeches, ads and spend literally the rest of the game 52 week session in TX and couldn't flip it.
