text: Talking about states , did you know the electoral collegs also works on state population? Each state has a population, giving them their electoral votes. President will target the bigger populated states to win their votes. Giving the more populated state more power to do what they want." a larger state gets more attention from the presidential candidates in a campaign than a small state does..." in source 3. Since the president wants to win and needs the electoral vote he will go to the states and do thing for them. Like donate money for schools or help with businesses so they can have their votes. Some state that get more attention/power have are Texas(38), Florida(29), and Califonia(55). Saying in Source 3. "Obama , who won that vote, got 29 electoral votes" from Florida said in souce 3. You know why? Because a week before he came to schools in Florida and helped them. I know because he came to my school.
