Pennsylvania, Georgia US Election Results 2024 LIVE: Voting hours extended amid Russian bomb threats

Pennsylvania, Georgia US Election Results 2024 LIVE: Over 160 million voters voting on Tuesday with election results likely to come down to the wire. Only seven of the 50 states are truly competitive this year, with the rest all comfortably Democratic or Republican, according to public opinion polls.

Swing states play an important role in the ever-shifting electoral landscape and can essentially make or break an election. The ‘purple states’ in the 2024 contest between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump contribute nearly a 100 electoral votes.

These are located in what is colloquially dubbed the Sun Belt and the Rust Belt and also known as the 'Blue Wall' states. The Sun Belt states comprise Nevada (6), Arizona (11), North Carolina (16) and Georgia (16). The Rust Belt states comprise- Wisconsin (10), Michigan (15) and Pennsylvania (19).

Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump both spent the waning hours of their campaigns in the well-trodden swing states of Pennsylvania and Michigan — widely seen as critical to winning the White House.
