My new guest essay for The New York Times looks at the 21 microcommunities across the four battleground states that could decide the election.  

Readers of this newsletter may recognize these from my pieces on battleground political geography over the last year. And the superstar NYT graphics team of Quoctrung Bui and Aileen Clark made it come alive with maps (some in 3D!) and photos from these places. I’m really excited by how this turned out!
