Any state that has 'swung' in a recent election could be called a swing state, so that would include NC, IN and NM. But the better term is 'battleground' which is the old 'follow the money' addage. If the campaigns are spending serious money in a state on TV and GOTV then it is a 'battleground' and by that definition, NC has been a battleground for the last two elections. I suspect it will be one again. While the Dems know it wont be a 'tipping point' state, they know it is a 'must win' state for the GOP and so for every dollar they spend the GOP will end up spending more to defend it. It is essentially electoral college trolling.
