Why is the candidates airing so many ads in these states compared to the other states?

The candidates aired much more ads in swing states than in other states. There are states that are traditionally red (republican) or blue (democratic). However, some states switch between red and blue from time to time, such as Ohio or Florida or Virginia. Candidates push for swing states because they try to win those electoral votes. For example, in the 2012 election, Romney and Obama constantly bombarded Ohio with political ads. However, states such as California or Alabama were typically left alone. This is because Ohio was a swing state and could go either way when it came to election, and California is a blue state while Alabama is a red state. When it came down to election night, Obama ended up winning Ohio.
