Have you heard about "swing states" and wondered what they are? What’s the buzz about the swing states anyway? And why is everyone talking about them? Do they even matter in the elections, especially during the presidential general elections?

A “swing state” - also referred to as a “battleground state,” “toss-up state,” or “purple state” - is a state that can be potentially won by (or “swing” to) either the Democratic or Republican presidential candidate, depending on the election. Swing states are usually won by a small margin of votes and could "swing" to different party than in the previous election.
