You mean 2 states (worth 24 electoral votes together) tied.
I think the difference is mostly that the NPR map leaves more of the "barely..." and "weak..." states as "toss ups."
I like the ability to shift the states around and see how the electoral math works out. E.G. take the 2000 results and flip NV and NH and you get a tie.
