That's not true. He got no electoral votes because he did not win the popular vote in any state. No electoral college since the civil war has awarded it's votes to anyone other then the candidate who won the popular vote in that state.

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
