What is the fewest number of states a candidate can win and still be elected president?
A candidate can be elected president by winning as few as 11 states, depending on the states' electoral votes. The key is to win states with a high number of electoral votes, such as California, Texas, and Florida, which can significantly boost the total while minimizing the number of states won. For instance, winning these populous states while losing others can yield the necessary 270 electoral votes to secure the presidency.

Except in Maine and Nebraska, all of the electoral votes for a state go to the candidate who receives the most votes, even if it is only by a tiny margin. This means that Presidential candidates will focus most of their campaigning on states with large populations, and therefore more electoral votes. Winning just 6 or 7 key "swing states" will often be enough to guarantee an electoral victory. In the elections of 1876, 1888, and 2000, the winning candidate did not get a plurality of the popular vote, only a majority of the electoral votes. There have been several proposals advanced for direct election of the President by popular vote.

What are the advantges of the electoral college?
The electoral college simplifies the election map for presidential candidates. The candidates need only look at the electoral value of each state instead of the states' actual populations. With the laws in most states a candidate does not have to win overwhelmingly in the state's population to get all of that state's votes, but only a majority. This means that states where the candidate polls well ahead or hopelessly behind can be ignored scene those electoral votes are secured and impossible to get. This means that the candidates can concentrate most of their money and campaigning in what are known as battleground states. These states are states where candidates are polling about even and can those swing the election by campaigning there. Of the 50 states (plus DC) there are only about 18 battleground states, and of those states only 4 of them get more than 50% of the candidates attention and money. So the advantage is that presidential candidates only have to concentrate their effort in a few key states and can ignore most of the rest of the country.
