Since the Electoral College allocates each state’s votes (except Maine and Nebraska) in a winner-take-all method, there is no reason for a candidate to campaign in a state that already favors them or their opponent.

dennisw, this website fundamentally misunderstands how the Electoral College works. The EC doesn't allocate any state's votes. The state legislatures themselves decide how those votes afre to be allocated. and complaining that the EC vote sometimes contravenes the "popular" vote is another misunderstanding. The bulk popular vote means nothing, since there isn't a uniform national election for president. It's actually 50 simultaneous state elections, with the apportioning of electors determined by state law. In each state, the popular vote majority is a determinant of the electors sent to the EC, but the summed total of the popular vote over the entire country means very little.
