FairVote's newest study Who Picks the President? finds Texas - formerly competitive and an Electoral College whopper - gets the least attention from Presidential candidates. The finding is part of a broader trend; ever fewer states receive campaign spending and attention in general.
Also concluded: 60 percent of voters nation-wide are irrelevant to candidates.
The report is a sequel to The Shrinking Battleground, which discusses the extent to which ever fewer states and voters matter in presidential races.
