Half of Presidential Campaign Is In Just 3 States
The map shows the distribution, by state, of the 70 general-election campaign events by the major-party nominees for President and Vice President. 

  • 38 states and DC have not received any events -- and that's not likely to change much in the remaining half of the campaign. 
  • 12 states have received 69 of the 70 events (with the odd event being in southern Virginia, but aimed at North Carolina voters).  
  • 3 states have received almost half of the events. 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. Click for details 
SUPPORT NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE
The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate receiving the most popular votes in all 50 states and D.C.

This is a great time to send your state legislators an email asking them to support the National Popular Vote bill, because most of them are up for election on November 3.
