5 States to Watch on Election Night



The American election is on November 8th and while millions of people around the world will be watching there's five states that matter the most. This isn't to say states like California, Texas or New York aren't important: 22.6% of elector votes come from these states alone. But let's be real: California will go Democrat, so will New York and Texas as usual will go red.

The States we really should be watching are:

1.) Florida: This is the most important State. It represents 29 electoral votes and if Clinton get's it she'll be the next President. But it doesn't go the other way: Trump has an up-hill battle.

2.) Ohio: Ohio has 18 electoral votes and it's more likely to go to Trump than Clinton.

3.) North Carolina: North Carolina is where it get's a little strange. Historically, North Carolina has voted Republican. This election is different: It's close between Trump and Clinton; Clinton is slightly ahead.

4.) Arizona: 11 electoral votes are here and more likely than not there going to Trump. Which, would make it the second state that illegal immigrates move through and prove that Trump's idea of a border wall reignited with the people who have to deal with illegal immigration most often.

5.) Colorado: There are many states with more than 9 electoral votes up for grabs. The reason why this state is important is because as of November 5 Clinton is up 2.9 on Trump. Colorado swinging to Trump despite the polls could be a sign he'll win the election. If he wins Colorado he could win Pennsylvania and maybe even Wisconsin.


15.2% of the electoral votes come from these States. if Trump can't win Florida and at the very least three others it's nearly impossible for him to win.
