North Carolina has a total of 15 electoral votes. In the US presidential election voting system, a candidate needs to secure 270 electoral votes out of a total of 538 to reach the White House. Most states in the US almost always vote for one of the two Democratic or Republican candidates. As a result, a significant part of the election campaign is usually focused on the so-called "battleground" states, where the outcome of voting may remain uncertain until the last moment. Florida and North Carolina are considered vital states, and on Thursday, November 3, both candidates, Clinton from the Democratic Party and Trump from the Republican Party, brought their campaigns to the latter.
