That they are the only states that should be able to vote for the President.


They have a large impact on the national election.

Answer 1

That they do not have an impact on the national election.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the particular nature of presidential elections in the United States, where the Electoral College elects the President and where each state has a number of voters equal to that of its congressmen, which are determined by popular vote where the party that wins the Majority gets all of the state's electors, in states where the vast majority of voters belong to a political party (as in the case of Oklahoma with the Republican Party or Illinois with the Democratic Party), minority voters in those states logically they feel they have no interference in the national vote. This is so because, as the electors of the state will almost certainly be adjudicated to the opposing political party, their vote is nothing more than a demonstration of intention devoid of any political weight.
