If a candidate does not win any of the 10 largest states, he would have to win the 40 other states plus DC in order to be elected, so I suppose 40 is the answer to a rather strange question.

How many electoral votes does yours do you have today?
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.
