7. (1) What is the difference between safe states and swing states (sometimes referred to battleground or purple states)? (2) Why is the color purple used to
describe swing states?

1. Safe states are states that are known statistically to vote a certain way while swing states tend to be on the fence and are a big focus in elections because they are the states that could change from red to blue or vise versa every year.

2. Red represents the Republican party and Blue represents the Democratic party since swing states are so in the middle we use purple because its red and blue mixed together.

Explanation:

California is an example of a safe state that consistently votes democrat

Pennsylvania this year was an example of a swing state because it could have been won by either side due to how close the votes were there
