Seven swing states, where the polls are evenly matched, are Pennsylvania (19), North Carolina (16), Georgia (16), Michigan (15), Arizona (11), Wisconsin (10), and Nevada (6).

This means that the candidates are battling for 93 electoral votes.

Both Maine and Nebraska allow for the division of electoral votes.

In Nebraska, two of the five electoral votes go to the state-wide vote winner, and one electoral vote goes to the winner in each of Nebraska's three congressional districts.
