Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania (3) is more states than Florida and NC (2).

And yes, there is an argument that more states is better, if it means coattail victories in 3 states rather than 2.

But my own metric is to focus on the states that most likely, most easily get you to the 270 threshold. The number of states you take to do it is secondary. But sure, once you've got the 270, the more states, the better!
