We analyzed voting in battleground states to see who helped cast deciding votes:

— How Hispanics along the border with Mexico helped President Trump win Texas.

— How white voters in cities and suburbs in Michigan and Wisconsin helped flip those states.

Here's what we found.

Georgia has yet to be called as Joe Biden continues to cut into President Trump’s slim lead with most of the remaining votes coming from Atlanta, where Biden has seen big gains in support.

A closer look at Atlanta and its suburbs shows Biden’s core of support in the state located there, with the outer rings of the city trending largely toward Trump. nyti.ms/3p4gvM4

Four years ago, Trump won North Carolina by 3.7 points. This year he is hanging on with a 1.4 point lead. A victory here is critical to Trump’s re-election, and he is fighting to keep it red.

Here is our analysis of the vote in North Carolina. nyti.ms/32jRnav

Across the state, Trump has held onto his base of white voters without college degrees, a bloc pivotal to his 2016 victory.

In Florida, a must-win battleground for Trump, more than half of the counties swung further right, allowing him to win the state with a margin that is nearly three times what he had four years ago.

Biden trailed Trump in many precincts with a majority Hispanic population, particularly those in the Cuban-American communities of Miami-Dade County, which overwhelmingly supported Trump.

Democrats were hopeful that Texas would turn blue in this election.

But even as urban and suburban areas moved in large numbers toward the Democrats, the president held on, as many Hispanic voters in South Texas abruptly exited the Democratic coalition. nyti.ms/34ZooKO

Texas counties along the border with Mexico shifted decisively toward Trump as heavily Hispanic areas delivered enough votes to help cancel the impact of white voters moving democratic in urban and suburban areas.

Biden flipped Wisconsin, a state Democratic candidates had won for decades until Trump took it in 2016.

Biden’s win came in part from voters in cities and suburbs. Their shift left countered the rural voters who continued to back Trump. nyti.ms/351ZMkD

Wisconsin has one of the highest proportions of white voters without college degrees in the country, voters who tend to make up Trump’s base.

But Biden claimed 20,000 more votes, with big margins in more populated counties like Dane, home of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Increased turnout in Detroit and its wealthy suburbs as well as shrinking support for Trump among middle-class voters helped propel Biden to victory in Michigan, a historically Democratic Midwestern battleground. nyti.ms/3k9hEi4

Biden gained support in most of the counties won by Hillary Clinton, and about two-thirds of the counties that voted for Trump in 2016 swung left in 2020.
