text: The winner-take-all method is used when to focus the campaign on toss-up state. The voters in toss-up states pay more close attention to the election. In Florida in 2012 election, Obama had won the state with a 29 electoral vote. Just like in Wyoming with only 3 votes. About 1/2 of the eligle American population did vote in 2012. They are the people that wanted to express the political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election. People can argue that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a canditate who has no hope of carrying their state which is unfair.
