@👽 Martin:
Mitt needs to win every battleground state. Not just Ohio, but PA, FL, IA, MI, NV, CO, VA, NM.
Actually, no, he doesn’t. If he gets VA, NC, FL and Ohio, plus the states where he’s currently leading, that gets him to 266 electoral votes, and any one of the smaller contested states would put him over. He could even do without Ohio if he gets, say, Wisconsin, Iowa and Nevada instead, though that requires more chancy things to go right.
