The 2024 election may seem far away.
However, the electoral map shown here, is not a blank slate.
Only a handful of states are still up for grabs.
Even before any votes have been counted, states colored red will be firmly in the Republican camp.
States colored blue will be firmly Democratic.
The remaining states can be won by either side. These cream-colored states are the swing states.
You will need 270 Electoral Votes to win the election.
You have limited campaign resources of time, people, and money to deploy to various states.
Spend them wisely.
Use the slider bars to set up to 5 resources on each state.
Each campaign resource equals a die you can roll against your opponent.
More resources give you more chances to win a state.
