And has 6 electoral votes in the Electoral College.

New Hampshire sends 33 delegates to the convetion and has a grand total of 4 electoral votes

South Carolina sends 63 delegates to the convention and has 9 electoral votes.

Nevada sends 48 delegates to the convention and has 6 electoral votes

And then:

California, which votes on March 3 in its presidential primary, sends 495 delegates to the convention and has 55 electoral votes.

Texas, which also votes on March 3, sends 262 delegates to the convention and has 38 electoral votes.

California and Texas are just two of 15 states to hold primaries on March 3.

So, can someone tell me again why we're so focused on Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina? Together, those four states have only 25 electoral votes. Maybe I'm missing something important here.
