If Trump sweeps them, he gets exactly 270 electoral votes, even without any of the other toss-ups. Trump is currently leading in Arizona \u2014 that\u2019s within the margin of error, but by more than in any other state \u2014 so it\u2019s less likely that he wins Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia and doesn\u2019t win Arizona, too. That would put him at 281, while losing Nevada, Michigan and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia was the closest margin by percentage of the vote in 2020, and it was the first time the state had gone Democratic since 1992, when there was a serious third-party candidate who pulled a significant share of the vote.<\/p>\n<div id=\"resnx-s1-5160077-104\" class=\"bucketwrap internallink insettwocolumn inset2col \">\n<div class=\"bucket img\">\n                  <a class=\"imagewrap\" id=\"featuredStackSquareImagenx-s1-5150099\" href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/10\/21\/nx-s1-5150099\/electoral-college-tie-explainer\" data-metrics-ga4=\"{&quot;category&quot;:&quot;recirculation&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:&quot;story_recirculation_click&quot;,&quot;clickType&quot;:&quot;inset box&quot;,&quot;clickUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.npr.org\\\/2024\\\/10\\\/21\\\/nx-s1-5150099\\\/electoral-college-tie-explainer&quot;}\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/4000x4000+969+0\/resize\/100\/quality\/15\/format\/jpeg\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F87%2Ffe%2F2b613bc043658fe37da90464954c%2Fgettyimages-2178385176.jpg\" data-original=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/4000x4000+969+0\/resize\/100\/quality\/100\/format\/jpeg\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F87%2Ffe%2F2b613bc043658fe37da90464954c%2Fgettyimages-2178385176.jpg\" data-template=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/4000x4000+969+0\/resize\/{width}\/quality\/{quality}\/format\/{format}\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F87%2Ffe%2F2b613bc043658fe37da90464954c%2Fgettyimages-2178385176.jpg\" data-format=\"webp\" class=\"img lazyOnLoad\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/4000x4000+969+0\/resize\/100\/quality\/15\/format\/jpeg\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F87%2Ffe%2F2b613bc043658fe37da90464954c%2Fgettyimages-2178385176.jpg\" data-original=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/4000x4000+969+0\/resize\/100\/quality\/100\/format\/jpeg\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F87%2Ffe%2F2b613bc043658fe37da90464954c%2Fgettyimages-2178385176.jpg\" data-template=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/4000x4000+969+0\/resize\/{width}\/quality\/{quality}\/format\/{format}\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F87%2Ffe%2F2b613bc043658fe37da90464954c%2Fgettyimages-2178385176.jpg\" data-format=\"jpeg\" class=\"img lazyOnLoad\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/4000x4000+969+0\/resize\/100\/quality\/100\/format\/jpeg\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F87%2Ffe%2F2b613bc043658fe37da90464954c%2Fgettyimages-2178385176.jpg\" data-template=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/4000x4000+969+0\/resize\/{width}\/quality\/{quality}\/format\/{format}\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F87%2Ffe%2F2b613bc043658fe37da90464954c%2Fgettyimages-2178385176.jpg\" data-format=\"jpeg\" class=\"img lazyOnLoad\" alt=\"People wait in line to cast ballots during early voting at a polling station in Black Mountain, North Carolina, on Friday.\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><\/a>         <\/p>\n<p><!-- END CLASS=\"BUCKETBLOCK\" -->\n      <\/div>\n<p><!-- END CLASS=\"BUCKET IMG\" -->\n   <\/div>\n<p><!-- END ID=\"RESNX-S1-5160077-104\" CLASS=\"BUCKETWRAP INTERNALLINK INSETTWOCOLUMN INSET2COL \" --><\/p>\n<p>North Carolina\u2019s demographics have been changing, and the state has become more competitive for Democrats because of it.

There are still at least two paths to the White House for Harris if she loses any of the three Blue Wall states.<\/p>\n<p>If she loses Wisconsin or Michigan, she could replace their 10 or 15 electoral votes, respectively, with 16 from either North Carolina or Georgia, or with a western sweep of Arizona in place of Wisconsin, or Arizona and Nevada for Michigan.

That would get her to 275 electoral votes. Harris has been very close in the Sun Belt states because of their emerging populations of Black, Latino and Asian American voters, but she\u2019s been polling slightly worse in the Sun Belt than the Blue Wall, so a Sun Belt sweep seems less likely.<\/p>\n<p><!-- END ID=\"RESNX-S1-5160077-106\" CLASS=\"BUCKETWRAP STATICHTML\" --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"edTag\">4.
