Even if a presidential candidate wins a state by a small margin in the popular vote, that’s enough to win all of the state’s electoral votes. States where polls are close - called swing states - have a disproportionate impact on the November election. On this edition, we hear from individuals in two of the most influential swing states - Florida and Pennsylvania. We also hear about a swing state strategy some Green voters are choosing.
