270toWin is a nonpartisan American political website that projects who will win United States presidential elections and also allows users to create their own electoral maps.[3][4] It also tracks the results of United States presidential elections by state throughout the country's history.[5][6]

The website regularly has news updates, usually about a topic related to elections, such as campaign announcements or retirements. For example, in the lead-up to the 2020 election, Drew Savicki, 270toWin elections and politics contributor, as well as Seth Moskowitz before him, is writing weekly articles on the competitiveness of each state in the Electoral College. There are several types of maps users can create. These include:

The website uses three different electoral forecasters: Sabato's Crystal Ball, Cook Political Report, and Inside Elections. There is also a fourth option, which is a consensus between the three pundits, that is generally used as the starting map.

The website also has useful information about elections and the political system, such as presidential electoral results dating back to 1789, pundit forecasts, voting history and trends by state (dating back to statehood), polling data, live updates during elections, and other useful information such as a lookup by zip code of elected representatives.[7]

The website is used by schools to teach about the electoral college process.[8]

2016 Presidential Election

As late as election day, November 8, 2016, 270toWin predicted that Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton would win the United States presidential election over Republican candidate Donald Trump by an electoral total of 252 to 163.[9] Donald Trump was the actual winner of the election, with 306 electoral votes over Clinton's total of 232.[10]
