The race for the White House remains tight, with the outcome likely hinging on results from seven key battleground states.
According to The New York Times, 93 electoral votes are at stake in these swing states. With both candidates expected to win their respective strongholds, the winner will need to secure a majority of these 93 votes.
The Times’ election results team, leveraging historical turnout data and reports from results providers, is providing real-time forecasts for each battleground state. They emphasize that these are estimates, and the final outcome could take days to determine as officials count votes.
The article notes that the Times relies on data from The Associated Press for its race calls. The publication utilizes its own estimates for each candidate’s final vote share and remaining votes, but acknowledges these figures are subject to change as official results become available.
