'''Pennsylvania''', which means "[[William Penn|Penn]]'s woods" or "Penn's land," was one of the original thirteen colonies in the [[United States]]. Its capital is [[Harrisburg]] and it borders [[Ohio]], [[Maryland]], [[New York]], [[New Jersey]], [[Delaware]], and [[West Virginia]]. For two decades Pennsylvania repeatedly voted for the [[Democrat]] candidate for president, but in 2016 [[Republican]] [[Donald Trump]] carried the state by 44,000 votes with his message of "Make America Great Again" along with his criticism of [[free trade]] and illegal [[immigration]]. In 2020, Trump won by a landslide among in-person voters, but 2.6 million mailed-in votes without the statutorily required signature verification was counted in favor of [[Biden]], and he was declared the winner in a dispute outcome.
