As Americans cast their ballots in this historic election, some votes—often in swing states—carry more weight than others, influencing the overall national outcome.
The U.S. does not elect presidents by popular vote, but rather through the electoral college, which grants all a state's electors to the candidate who wins the state.
Swing states, where the race is extremely close, hold disproportional influence over national results, showcasing the fluid nature of electoral significance in the U.S.
Voting patterns shift over time, causing states like Georgia to become competitive for Democrats while others like Florida have trended towards Republicans.
