Also known as swing states, battleground states usually determine the outcome of the US presidential election.

Due to the fact that the US votes follow an electoral college system, the outcome usually comes down to states that “swing” from Republican to Democrat while other states consistently vote for the Democratic or Republican candidate in each election cycle (almost always, that is).
