Six states are critical to whether President Trump wins re-election.
They were key to his victory in 2016 and are battlegrounds in 2020.
But within them, 20 counties may be decisive.

The road to 270 electoral votes may run through Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

One of the states is Florida, diverse but conservative-leaning, and almost always close in presidential elections. It’s likely to be decided by one or two percentage points again this year.
Here's where, exactly, the winner may be decided.

Miami-Dade County: A Democratic stronghold, it's not one Trump would hope to win.
But this majority-Hispanic area was a disappointment for Democrats in 2018, especially in heavily Cuban-American precincts. Younger Cuban voters have started identifying as Trump Republicans here.

Pinellas County: Perhaps Florida's biggest swing county.
The area backed Trump after twice going for Barack Obama. It's a Florida microcosm: solid for Democrats in St. Petersburg and Midwestern retirees elsewhere.

Osceola County: Near Orlando, it's increasingly Hispanic.
Conservative retirees have been joined by hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans, who didn't register to vote in 2018 in numbers that Democrats had hoped.
So far this year, they're lagging other groups in early voting.

Those three parts of Florida could be crucial to who wins the state.
But in the other battlegrounds — Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — similar, local contests are playing out on the ground.
