Dispatches from the 2016 presidential battlegrounds
BOULDER, Colorado 鈥� Only about a dozen states are truly up for grabs when Republicans and Democrats square off in 2016 in their pursuit for the White House.
Welcome to the States in Play.
Colorado 鈥� Iowa 鈥� Wisconsin 鈥� Ohio 鈥� Pennsylvania 鈥� New Hampshire 鈥� Virginia 鈥� North Carolina 鈥� Florida 鈥� New Mexico 鈥� Arizona 鈥� Nevada
They are the battlegrounds, the swing states, the states where both presidential campaigns will spend a lot of their time on the 2016 trail. But why these states? What makes them so special? And what do voters want there?
States in Play 鈥� a CU News Corps special project 鈥� will tell you why.
That鈥檚 what reporter Lars Gesing is setting out to do. For three months he will travel to all 12 states and bring you political analysis paired with personal observations from the ground.
Follow us on a different kind of road trip.
