Presidential Candidate Tracker - Oct. 29th Update
- Posted: October 29, 2008
- Categories: National Popular Vote, FairVote
In the eight weeks since the Republican convention, the major party candidates for president and vice-president have devoted 99% of their campaign visits to 17 states and 81% of their campaign visits to only ten states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Virginia, Colorado, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. With the exception of New York, these ten most-visited states are heavily contested battleground states with relatively large populations. This stockpiling of campaign attention into a handful of states is a direct consequence of the current Electoral College system. That system is governed by state statutes that by 2012 may be replaced by the National Popular Vote plan for president where every vote will be of equal weight wherever it is cast.
