BRIAN SNYDER/REUTERS If Clinton wins North Carolina, Trump's 259 electoral votes from the everything-goes-right scenario falls to 244 electoral votes. This is important because holding North Carolina makes Trump's path to 270 electoral votes much, much harder. If Clinton wins North Carolina, Trump's 259 electoral votes from the everything-goes-right scenario falls to 244 electoral votes. So if Trump loses North Carolina and holds Arizona, he can get to 270 by winning Nevada and Pennsylvania.
