I'm unclear on something. What is the difference between battleground and key states? Are those the same? I think a key state is a state with the higher number of electoral votes (ex: PA?) and battleground states are those that could go either way?

How close did I get? Anyone?
Yes and yes. Pennsylvania is a key swing state as whoever wins it has a much more clear path to 270 with its 19 electoral votes. Losing Pennsylvania would make it hard for Trump, maybe impossible for Harris to win if everything else goes off in line with the polling.
Oh then I got those right! Thanks for the information honor!

Trump has won N.C. If he wins GA, then all he needs is PA to win. Harris needs the blue wall, and it doesn’t look good.

Checked Lichtman's live in replay. He says the margins are too small in Pennsylvania. Michigan and Wisconsin turning red.

America is delusional.

That’s the danger of authoritarian mass movements.

Trump has almost won now that Pennsylvania has gone for Trump. Bad times await. Trump's mutant control power is too strong for the masses, but they will be ready for goosestepping.

Control of the House, Senate, Presidency, and Supreme Court. The conversion to a fascist state can be swift with the help of Project 2025 and unscrupulous Trump lackeys. Adios Ukraine and NATO. Welcome to the Russian Federation and North Korea.

:cry: :cry: That's what I'm afraid of too! I'm heartbroken! How could so many voters who obviously opposed the banning of Roe vs. Wade still have voted for the villain who made that happen? Do any of them think that all the recent votes to restore abortion rights will last very long with him back in power? It doesn't make any sense! And now, he will have the power to get all the criminal cases against him dismissed. How is anyone going to limit his power to do whatever he wants to do? The cognizant level of the Americans who still support him is nearly equivalent to that of flat earth believers!
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Had your party not resorted to such unethical tactics in the first place, you might have won the election. Harris could have offered to pardon Trump during her campaign. That would have been wise politically. But the Democrat hatred of deplorables and garbage MAGA Republicans was too great and she just couldn't do it. I'm for compromise and hope Republicans can govern as moderately as possible. But the lawfare and seeking to financially ruin anyone who exercises their 1st amendment rights against the administrative state needs to stop. You have your state abortion laws. You have your state and local taxes that you can implement in your blue communities. You can even have your state pay reparations, put boys in girls bathroom or whatever you want. Just allow conservative people who don't want that kind of thing the freedom to move to Florida and we can still get along.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
