Three Reasons Texas May Become a Battleground in 2016

If you've been watching the presidential elections, you've likely heard about battleground states. While the winner-take-all method still largely determines who wins a presidential election, there are certain factors that determine a battleground state. In general, states with a narrow margin of victory will be considered battlegrounds. Here are three reasons why Texas may become a battleground in 2016.

The game's premise is similar to Playerunknown's Battlegrounds. During the first round, you begin by flying over a small island with a parachute, and you must find a point of interest before your opponents can take you down. Once you've located your point of interest, you'll want to quickly arm yourself to fight back against enemies. While the combat is fast and intense, Battleground's premise is very strong and is a good game for five minute rounds.

Despite their popularity, battleground states are not easy to predict. In general, the margin of victory in battleground states is smaller than in non-battleground states, so candidates focus their advertising efforts on these areas. Depending on the results, the state may go either way, and this is why the media is so obsessed with them. However, if you aren't paying attention to these states, it's time to change that.

In addition to the electoral vote, the state's legislative races can influence voters' choice. Similarly, demographic shifts may narrow the margins in future elections, especially if the state has a split legislature and governor. Likewise, the congressional delegations of both parties may show a regional divide in voting patterns. Therefore, a battleground state may become an electoral battleground in the future if the results in one state are not completely predictable.
