2. Thanks

My next goal is to calculate what percentages the candidates won based on voter turnout. Should be interesting.

3. Your Electoral Vote count is outdated

That was the count in 2000 but to have relevance to this election put in the new counts. Here are the changes I can think of, with the old number in parentheses.

State - New # (Old #)
California - 55 (54)
Connecticut - 7 (8)
Florida - 27 (25)
Pennsylvania - 21 (23)
New York - 31 (33)
Texas - 34 (32)
Georgia - 15 (13)

There were other changes I can't remember, but they are almost all bad, except for California gaining a seat.

4. That was not my intention

I didn't intend for it to be relevant to 2004. It was intended to demonstrate that Bush benefitted more from simple pluralities than Gore did.

I think it also serves as a refutation of the right-wing "Bush won more land/counties/districts" argument. Basically, the land Bush won has less people in it.
