Together, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and North Carolina have received 34 of the 70 events. This year's situation is similar to 2016 when almost all the events (94%) took place in just 12 states, and similar to 2012 when all the events took place in just 12 states. The reason why voters in only about a dozen states matter in presidential races is that almost all states award their electoral votes to the candidate who gets the most popular votes inside the state. Because of these "winner-take-all" laws, candidates have no reason to pay attention to voters unless they live in a state where the race is within a few percentage points.
