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).

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.
