Each state has the number of electoral votes by the number of people they have in Congress. There is a total of 265 electoral votes needed to gain the presidency. Let's say that state A has 45 members in congress and the voters in the state pick a republican ticket as winner in that state. This means that the 45 electoral votes would go towards the 265 for the republican candidate. To win the office is mainly a math problem. If a candidate gets the states with the largest numbers of electoral votes he/she wins. This is one reason you see campaigns in certain states more than others.
