Not quite. Votes comes only from congressional district. No at-large votes.

Basically, candidate wins a district: one ev.

Oh, then, it's Obama 242-193. Obama won 28 states, so take 301 and subtract 56 electoral votes from the Senate, plus 3 for DC, and he has 242. McCain won 22 states, so take 237 and subtract the 44 Senate votes, and he has 193.

So, it's 242-193 if CD-only.

Are you counting D.C.?

No, I excluded DC. Sorry for the misunderstanding, but since I'm only doing congressional districts, yes, DC is excluded.
