MOUNT POCONO---The election is close, the polls are tight and voters are anxious. Some political experts say Pennsylvania is a key win for the presidential candidates.

"First time voter! Exciting, nerve wracking, definitely feel some type of pressure,” said Amber Ramos of Tobyhanna Township.

Pennsylvania is one of 11 swing states, critical for presidential candidates to win and some political experts say the Keystone State is the most important.

"It's been preached through the years that your vote counts and it's coming down to that saying, your vote does count,” said Jose Ramos of Tobyhanna Township.

Not everyone agrees that the Keystone State would be the key to the White House.

"I'd like to know how they came up with that conclusion, like what was the categories that they look at, what are the items that they looked at? Pennsylvania? We don't really have that many votes in the Electoral College," said Paul Messino of Candadensis.

For those who do think Pennsylvania is critical, there's some pressure.

"I absolutely agree. Pennsylvania is going to be the key state for the election,” said Howard Daley of Pocono Pines. "My vote in Pennsylvania may be the deciding factor,” he laughed.

“The pressure is definitely on and Pennsylvania being the state where they like have to win! I’m like 'Oh my God, of all states, it has to be the one I live in, like I'm freaking out but I'm also excited. I'm excited to see that me alone, I can make a difference,” said Amber Ramos.
