Swing States: How important is Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania is considered another key state in this year’s US election as it is among the top 10 states with the most electors.

The so called ‘swing state’ has 20 electoral votes to its name and both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be hoping to claim victory.

Still a ‘swing state?’

However, in recent years, it hasn’t lived up to its ‘swinging’ reputation as it has voted Democrat in the last six elections.

In 2012, Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney by around 5%, claiming 51.96% of the vote.

With such conviction in previous years, Clinton will be hoping to continue Obama’s victory and claim the state for the Democrats.
