text: Because of the Electoral College, Presidential Canidates spend a large portion of their time in "Swing States," like Ohio or Florida, and little or no time to states with predictable outcomes.  A swing state is a state that could go either way in the election, so the canidates spend a lot of time convincing it's populants to vote for them, because of the winner-takes-all method.  This is unfair to the states with predicted outcomes.
