特朗普正式“回宫”！是什么决定了这次大选的最终走向？（讲解版）｜E1107

▍原文

As Americans cast their ballots in the historic election, some votes matter more than others. The U.S. doesn't elect presidents by popular vote, but through the unique electoral college.
 
In practice, that means voters in the swing states—states where the race is very close, and could be swayed one way or another—have disproportional impact on the national results.
 
And the list of swing states is far from static: It changes as voting patterns shift.
