It's only decided by 'swing states' because most of the large states, with larger population and electoral votes, are easily won by one side or the other. Groups of other states supply some more electoral votes, to ensure those people have SOME say on what happens to THEM. This is opposed to without an Electoral vote, letting NYC, LA, CHI (and similar cities) effectively have ALL the say (then, there would not be swing states at all). Of course the corruptocrats have wanted no Electoral vote, because they already own the large population of people in the big coastal cities -- otherwise, they'd be screaming the opposite direction.... BUT, for instance, notice how presently there's NO complaining about the Electoral College by the corruptocrats at this moment -- since they lead in Electoral Votes in THIS Election, and it works to their advantage.. If they were not leading in Electoral votes, THEN they would certainly be complaining... Because, it's ALL about THEM winning, period. They're weasels.
