They're important because they'll break up a trifecta (where the GOP controls all branches of state government) or it's a flippable seat where the balance of power will lean Dem.
GA, FL, ME, IL, OH, KS, IA, NV, SD, WI

This race is a tossup but big young voter turnout & a court decision to block "exact match" rules may turn the tide blue.

538 has this race as lean Dem despite close polling. Given Gillum's charisma & young voter turnout numbers, I'd agree. #WaveCastFL

The good news is Ohio may have finally gotten wise to GOP rhetoric.

His white nationalist leanings, anti-immigration rhetoric & voter suppression tactics have @SenatorKelly nipping at his heels. #WaveCastKS

538 rates this race as lean Dem, although recent polls have conflicting results. Look for more of the midwest to turn blue this year.

Given some astounding young voter turnout this election cycle, an upset is not out of the question in NV.

Although 538 rates this race as likely R, polls in late October reported a tie.

538 & other experts have suggested Evers might actually squeak out a narrow victory in Wisconsin. #WaveCastWI
