Fox mapped the battleground states. Pennsylvania's still waiting on the map key for "fair."
Fox mapped where Trump and the top Democrats are going, which is useful, since nobody can find a battleground state without a color-coded graphic and a guy in a quarter-zip pointing at it. Both parties are sending their best surrogates to the same three states, so expect every voter there to get roughly nine hundred texts a day.

Rally stops tell you more about turnout math than persuasion. Florida is hardly a battleground anymore, so a Trump appearance there is mostly about energizing a base and raising money, while Georgia and Michigan are where the margins are thin enough that a few thousand voters decide the electoral votes. Surrogates get sent to places where registration deadlines and early vote totals are still moving, which is why the schedule is a better guide to each party's internal polling than any press release. The unglamorous part is that the people who decide these states are mostly low-propensity voters, and a rally mostly reaches the ones who were already going to show up.
