Why 0.008% of the U.S. population might determine the election

B 5,000 people switched from by Dean to  Trump all 16 of those Electoral College   votes would have gone to Trump as well this  gets crazier Arizona razor thin margins   Biden won by 4,057 votes if 5,000 of those  people changed their minds Trump would have   taken all of Arizona's electoral college  votes finally look at Wisconsin Biden won   by almost 210010 342 Biden supporters changed  their votes to Trump Wisconsin's 10 Electoral   College votes would have gone to Trump as  well so what's the point of this mental map if those roughly 20,000 people across three  states Chang their votes handing Trump those 37   Electoral College votes suddenly we end up in  the Absurd and almost unprecedented outcome   of a perfect tie 269 to 269 what happens in  the tie the House of Representatives decides   who wins it gets a little complicated  but one possible outcome of that vote   is that Donald Trump becomes president  for a second term all thanks to 21,46 61   voters in a country of more than 330 million  people that my friends is Swing the math and   it's why Donald Trump and kamla Harris have  spent so much time in the seven Battleground States hello Pennsylvania how are we doing that could determine the outcome of the election  this November so let's compare how pollsters   predict which states will be key Battlegrounds  here's a map of the US most of these states have   clear enough voting patterns that it would be a  surprise if they stepped wildly out of line like   with California the joke is that Democrats could  run a cardboard cut out there and still probably   win in all they likely start with 226 Electoral  College votes in the bag that's not far off from   the 270 needed to win but on the other side a huge  swath the this Republican belt is solidly red that   gives Republicans 219 Electoral College votes that  they can count on which leaves these seven states   where the margins between Victory and defeat are  so so thin in 2020 less than three percentage   points separated the winner from the loser in each  case and each outcome was a major showstopping headline Joe Biden your projected winner in the  state of Arizona the Associated Press has just   called Wisconsin for Joe Biden Joe Biden has  won Michigan and gets the 16 electoral votes [Music]   and here's where each side can get really  strategic because you don't need to win all   seven or even the majority of Swing States in  order to win the election either side can win   with as few as three of these swing States in  Trump's indication there's only one way to do   this if he wins North Carolina and Georgia  the three biggest most valuable swing States   if he doesn't win exactly those three states  he'll need at least four of the Swing states   to snatch back the presidency or else he'll  need to generate another surprise Elsewhere   on the map meanwhile there are several  combinations of three-state Victories   that give Harris the win but that's just a  mathematical look at the swing States cap   the victory here are the most plausible  paths for kamla Harris and Donald Trump [Music] the most straightforward way for her  to get elected is still to carry Pennsylvania   Michigan and Wisconsin and the one congressional  district in Nebraska that sometimes votes for   Democrats that would put her at exactly at  270 I think her strategy is going to be to   try to gain the Sun Belt states and States  like Arizona and Georgia for Donald Trump   Trump their path is to hold try to flip Georgia  or Arizona or Nevada and then run the table in   the Rust Belt and rely on those white rural  workingclass voters in Michigan Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and wor pointing out if either  candidate wins any five of the seven swing   States and they hold on to every other state  they are expected to that's enough that gets   either one across the 270 Electoral College  vote Finish Line so easy right you just have   to win somewhere between three and five  of the Swing States hold the other 20 or   so states that everyone just expects you to hold  on to and you're golden well each swing state is   different different issues different geography  different voters Pennsylvania is a great examp   example of that it's where Harris began a  5-day Battleground tour Tim Walls as her vice president thanks for watching this video [Music]
