Ohio could be Biden's best shot at keeping Trump from contesting the 2020 election
Typically, presidential elections are fought and won in the so-called tipping-point states places such as Wisconsin or Pennsylvania that statisticians consider most likely to put one candidate or the other over the top in the Electoral College.
But with President Trump and his family signaling that he will refuse to concede a narrow defeat and will contest any result that is drawn out beyond Election Day an unprecedented break from convention some Democrats have begun insisting that Joe Biden cant wait for the trickle of mail-in ballots from the usual Midwestern battlegrounds to eventually nudge him past 270 electoral votes.
To nip any disaster scenario in the bud, they say, Biden also needs to flip one or more nail-in-the-coffin states that is, the ones that on election night itself could quickly and decisively prove that Trump has no remaining path to victory.
Ohio, the site of this years first presidential debate, could be Bidens best option.

(9,897 posts)The asshat needs to win ALL of these: NC, FL, OH, WI, AND PA - and that is to have a Trump 278 - Biden 260 outcome by many projections.
If Trump loses NC, or FL, or OH, the networks may call it for Biden as soon as the polls close in CA.
Biden can lose OH and FL and PA and take NC for a small win...Biden 275 Trump 263
Biden can lose NC and FL and PA and take OH for a small win...Biden 278 Trump 260
Biden can lose NC and FL and OH and take PA for a similar effect...Biden 280 Trump 258.
Biden can lose NC and OH and PA and take FL for a comfortable win...Biden 299 Trump 239
Biden takes the ones he currently is leading in? Which is ALL of them right now...
It goes to Obama-level blow out territory - Biden 352 Trump 186

I am really hoping for a soul crushing victory that leaves the GOP decimated and with no path to victory anywhere on the planet.
