2012 US Presidential Election

I would laugh if Mitt Romney won the popular vote but Barack Obama won the electoral votes.

It would remind me of the 2000 election, but with Al Gore getting the popular votes and George Bush getting the electoral votes.

According to Google Politics & Elections, at this time:
Obama - 48.7% of pop votes - 252 electoral votes
Romney - 50.0% of pop votes - 200 electoral votes

Trippy.


Edit (November 6, 8:38 PM):
Obama - 49.1% and 265
Romney - 49.5% and 200

We really need to take out the electoral college. Even though I don't want Romney to win, this outcome is ridiculous. Doesn't matter how many votes you get. What matters is where those few key votes are located.


Edit (November 6, 8:45 PM):
Obama - 49.2% and 274
Romney - 49.4% and 200

It was already predicted that Obama won. But hey, can't wait to see what the final tally is.

And again, electoral college is flawed because of the rules that are in place. We should just go by the popular vote!
