Because in states like Texas (which is presumably all wrapped up for Bush*) the voters for Kerry aren't likely to show up at all. "Why bother?" they ask themselves. What difference will it make?
How can Democrats in such heavily Republican areas find the motivation to vote when they know that it "won't-make-a-difference"?
Does the Electoral College system help to suppress the vote? I think so.
