text: The third point is the swing states. These are states that are not set on one certain party, such as Demorats in Texas or Republicans in California. The voters in toss-up states are the most studious of the campaign because they know they are the ones who will ultimately decide who will win the election. The voters in these states will pay closer attention to the debates, do further research into the claims the candidates place against each other, and they also recieve the most information and attention from the campaign. These voters are thought to be the most thoughtful and often decide the election.
