512 Paths to the White House
“512 Paths to the White House“ is a groundbreaking New York Times infographic that shows which states each presidential candidate must win in order to win the electoral college.
For example, if Obama wins Ohio and Florida he wins the electoral college. Or, if Obama wins Florida and North Carolina, but not Ohio, he will also win. If Romney wins Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin, he wins the race.
There are 431 ways for Obama to win and only 76 ways that Romney could win.
