Campaign visits, per state
#1
So after some discussion in the chat about the Electoral College and it's useful/uselessness and arguments for/against (again), I was curious as to exactly where the candidates visited during the election, because the college allegedly "gives the small states a voice" and all the bullshit. So, I wanted to actually know whose voice was being heard, and how often, thanks to our electoral system.

NationalJournal.com has a really neat travel tracker tool that I used to get these numbers. I decided to narrow the results to only the general election campaign (about mid-June through 9th of Nov), ignoring primary contests that'll skew results. Furthermore, I'm only showing results for Hillary & Donald.

For your convenience, let's put the results into a table:

Total # of VisitsStates
47Florida
40Pennsylvania
34Ohio
31North Carolina
16Colorado (?)
14New Hampshire
11Iowa; Michigan; New York City; Virginia
10Nevada (y tho?)
8Washington D.C.
6Wisconsin
5Arizona (thanks, fear of brown people!)
4Maine; Texas (the dichotomy is real)
2Illinois; Indiana; Minnesota; Nebraska
1California; Connecticut; Georgia; Maryland; Mississippi; Missouri; New Jersey; Washington
0Alabama; Alaska; Arkansas; Delaware; Hawaii; Idaho; Kansas; Kentucky; Louisiana; Massachusetts; Montana; New Mexico; North Dakota; Oklahoma; Oregon; Rhode Island; South Carolina; South Dakota; Tennessee; Utah; Vermont; West Virginia; Wyoming

I mean, I could make a map of that, but I already spent too much time on my curiosity. Flipped Smile
