New Link -- Electoral Vote Counter

Keep score at home. I've just updated our blogroll located on the right with www.electoral-vote.com, a most welcome and important addition.

As everyone knows, our Founding Fathers didn't trust "we the people" (or at the time white male landowners) with actually directly electing the President of the United States. Instead, when it comes to electing the most important public office, a body of electors, chosen by the winning political party in each state and numbering the total number US Congressmen that state has, actually places the votes that elect the President and Vice President of United States.

Electoral votes are pivotal. In 2000, even though Al Gore won the popular vote, George Bush eventually became president because won more electoral votes. Based on current poll numbers in the 50 states, the electoral vote counter gives you a running tally of how the presidential candidates are doing in respect to electoral votes.

As of today for the Election 2004, Electoral-Vote has the current electoral count at ...drum roll ... tap dance ..."Ozzie Smith" back flip....

Kerry 300 Bush 238!
