If the candidate wins some other states, then he can lose whatever combination of top states that total to the same number of votes as the smaller states that he wins.

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.
Which state did most of Barack Obama's votes come from?
It is impossible to win an election with votes from only one state. There are certainly bigger states (like California or New York) with the largest number of voters; but the popular vote is the total of ALL the votes cast in the fifty states and the District of Columbia. So, winning one big state would not necessarily be enough to win the presidency. That said, some states, called "Swing States" are especially important due to their large number of electoral votes. The fact that Mr. Obama won Ohio and Florida, for example, helped him win the presidency.
