Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
As the presidential election day approaches in the United States, the two rival camps have begun a fierce battle to grab every possible vote. All the headaches are about the seven ‘battleground’ states. Most of the voters in these states have already made up their minds who they will vote for. The number of undecided voters is not very high, not more than 3 to 3.5 percent according to mid-October calculations. As much attention as these handful of thousands of votes.
However, this intense battle over votes is not new. The results of the Electoral College vote in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections were determined by a margin of 77,000 and 46,000 votes, respectively. In some battleground states, just a few thousand votes determined the final outcome. For example, in 2020, Joe Biden won 10 Electoral College votes in Wisconsin with only 20,682 votes. His margin of victory in Georgia was even smaller, winning by just 11,779 votes. The reader may remember that rival candidate Trump, angry at the results of the election, called the Secretary of State of Georgia and demanded that he be given just one more vote (i.e. 11,780) than 11,779.
