Nor'easter on Election Day?

I am sorry, I am feeling dense right now. Why does the color of the state make it not important to the outcome? Do you mean as opposed to it being a swing state?

Every vote is important, but in most elections there are states that are won by a large margin and some that are very close. Most northeastern states aren't close. As a purely practical matter, the Democratic majority in that region is significant enough that the electoral votes in most states will likely still go to Mr. Obama even with a very low voter turnout.

Gotcha, thanks
