Pennsylvania got its nickname as the keystone state because, geographically, it’s in the middle of the thirteen original colonies. Though it’s still not in the middle of the country geographically this November, it may be in the middle politically.
In 2016, some pundits predicted that Pennsylvania would almost definitely vote for Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and a healthy percentage voters in the state did. Most of those votes came from the cities of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Scranton. But, it wasn’t quite enough to bring her victory in the state. Though she did well, Clinton fell just 44,000 votes shy of securing the state, giving Donald Trump the win.
