Here are the counties to keep an eye on in each of the seven swing states as Election Day unfolds.
In a deeply divided nation, the election is a true toss-up between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump, meaning the outcome of the 2024 election will rely heavily on several key battleground states. This means the results will also rely on several counties. From 2012 to 2016, more than 200 counties flipped from former President Barack Obama to Trump. In 2020, less than half that number changed hands from Trump to President Biden, according to NPR.
Saginaw County flipped from Obama in 2012 to Trump in 2016 and then to Biden in 2020.Politicians in Washoe County, Nevada, refer to the county as "the swingiest county." The county, which encompasses Reno, is the state's second-most populous county.In 2020, Biden won Washoe by 4.5 points. According to political data expert David Wasserman, Democratic votes in this county could offset losses in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, where the GOP has made gains in recent years.
