The early vote, which has hit record levels in many places, looks promising for Joe Biden.

Yet on election eve, no one can say with any certainty if Biden wins by a landslide or Trump ekes out a reelection victory.

The reason is that the race remains close in most of the eight swing states we've identified as critical battlegrounds.

What’s clear, in the final days, is that the election will be decided on a swing state map unlike any from the past. Here's a look 👇 https://politi.co/3egMdkv 
Joe Biden may not be making a stop in Arizona in the final days before the election, but he’s doing the next best thing: he’s spending more money in the critical Phoenix media market than anywhere else in the country https://politi.co/3jPm0L4 
Florida ultimately boils down to 2 big wagers. Dems are betting they can turn out enough new, blue-leaning independent voters — along with more senior citizens than usual. The GOP gamble hinges on turning out their more high-propensity voters. https://politi.co/3ehVNn7 
Early voting indicates a surge in turnout this year in Georgia, and it’s staked Joe Biden to an early lead. But Republicans remain confident that GOP voters will show up in droves on Nov. 3 to make up the deficit. https://politi.co/3el1Ozf 
The professional Republicans who spent the past 4 years marveling at each and every one of the 10,704 votes that put Trump over the top in Michigan in 2016 had been clinging to hope that he could expand his coalition. They have abandoned any such optimism. https://politi.co/34Phesz 
Coronavirus cases are surging. The early vote looks great for Democrats, who have swamped Donald Trump’s ad spending in the state. But the president keeps coming to the state and has strong support in greater Minnesota, so he can’t be counted out. https://politi.co/3egHiA5 
Donald Trump won North Carolina in 2016 by running up the score in the outer suburbs. The race is so close this time that he can’t afford a drop-off in those places. https://politi.co/3jNw471 
Many Republicans view Pennsylvania as Donald Trump’s best chance to carry one of the three Rust Belt states that put him in the White House in 2016 — in part because polling shows the race is closer here than in Wisconsin or Michigan. https://politi.co/3egenMu 
The dominant issue in Wisconsin right now is Covid-19. Residents are in the throes of another surge in the deadly pandemic, which reached a crisis point four weeks ago and shows no signs of slowing. Trump has held mega-rallies in the state anyway. https://politi.co/2TKit6b
