There has to be a major issue that unites these particular states. Presumably, the Independent would get favorable pledges on that issue.
This was basically the approach of third party candidates like Stromm Thurmond and George Wallace, who won a few southern states (worth 39 electoral votes for Thurmond, and 46 for Wallace.) They had strong support in one region, and wanted to play kingmaker in a close election.
It could also happen with a third party candidate based in a single state.
