1 U.S. 2020 Presidential Election | Nominated Presidential Electors | October 13, 2020 Journalist's Resource Has Compiled

U.S. 2020 presidential election | Nominated presidential electors | October 13, 2020 Journalist’s Resource has compiled the names of electors in 13 swing states. These are the battlegrounds that will decide the presidency in 2020, according to analysis and reporting from the Associated Press, FiveThirtyEight, NPR and The New York Times. Who electors are becomes relevant during an election season with countless potential unknowns before and after Election Day. Unknowns include the president’s health, since he has had COVID-19, and whether the president will willingly leave office if he loses the election, as he has refused to agree to a peaceful transfer of power. Arizona, , Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, , , New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin have 199 electoral votes among them — 37% of the 538 total electoral votes and 74% of the 270 needed to win the presidency. Some states make names of presidential electors easily available via their respective secretary of state websites. For other states we obtained other records, such as official presidential nomination papers, which include names of presidential electors and, in some cases, personal information, such as home addresses. Some electors are public figures — mayors, state legislators, former high-level state office holders, former presidential cabinet members, and so on. Others are primarily private citizens who, despite potentially holding a public position in this instance, may also have a reasonable expectation of privacy. For this reason — and considering the FBI has warned of violence before and after Nov. 3 — we have chosen only to publish electors’ names. Spellings are as they appear on the documents we consulted.
