I'm too lazy to do the maths myself again, but I remember being slightly angered at this site's what-if scenario for 92, and doing ones for 88 and 80.
It takes 300,000 votes in all the right places to (theoretically) manufacture a Bush win, about twice as many to manufacture a Carter win, somewhere in between to manufacture a Dukakis win.
Obviously, it wouldn't have happened that way, and the public outcry might've been large enough to scrap the EC if it had.
