I feel half the states, at least, could safely be painted red or blue on the EC map before the election. And hence can safely be ignored. No one campaigns in North Dakota or Massachusetts in a general election, or do they? In a way I do not see the difference.
You are very correct. I was listening to some former campaign staffers talk about how about 90% of the campaign visits during the general election happen in something like 10 states. About half of the states do not see any candidate visit them during the campaign.
