    Truthfulness of election results

    (I apologize for those expecting more Certification help, but following politics and elections is a hobby of mine.)
    If you compare my results with some of the other election results, you will note some differences. This is because some listings have more votes for certain candidates than others. My policy is to list the largest vote for a candidate listed by a major news media (except for Wyoming, where I had to include some blogs and minor media). Did anyone else notice that on Saturday evening, during Obama's victory speach, the number of votes for him went DOWN!
    This was at 96%.
    First it was Obama: 281,413; Clinton: 134,781; Edwards: 90,600
    Next it was Obama: 281,365; Clinton: 134,798; Edwards: 90,602
    Obama actually lost 48 votes!
    Before our nation even thinks about electing our President using a national popular vote system, we need to verify that the voting totals are accurate.

    National 2008 Republican Presidential Vote totals:

    Here is a list of the total Republican Primary votes for the 2008 election.
    In NH I took the larger of 98% of the total and 100% (yes, some went DOWN!).
    How I arrived at the Wyoming numbers will be in another post due to Live Spaces size limitation.
    Let me know if you see any errors.
