What is the minimum number of states that a candidate needs to win the election?
You need at least 270 electoral votes to win. The fewest number of states you could win is 11. They would have to be: Ca-55, Tx-34, Fl-27, Ga-15, Nc-15, NJ-15, Pa-21, Ny-31, Oh-20, Mi-17, Il-17 No other combination of 11 states could give you 270 electoral votes. Conversely you could win 39 states and DC and still lose. It should be noted that the residents of USA. territories cannot vote for The President. If they were given electoral votes the same way that states were this answer could change to 10 because you could make up the remainder with territorial votes. If however each territory was given three votes (as would be expected as that is the minimum number given to a state) then a candidate would need 277 votes and the answer would actually change to 12. If the electoral college were eliminated in favor of a popular vote system (which it should be) than you would not have to win any states as long as you won at least one territory.

In the 'top ten ' scenario, all of the remaining states, with the exception of Massachusetts (12 votes) would have to be won by the candidate collecting electoral votes from the smaller (when calculated by electoral votes) states.
