Of course the other states will vote and even candidates that didn't bother campaigning in most states would still get plenty of votes there. My point is that if you focus your efforts on a few big states with the plan being that you will gain enough votes in them to offset any votes you may lose by ignoring the other states, it is a recipe for failure.
