According to the EV calculator, 272-266 is correct (out of 538).

You're correct.  Torie's math is flawed.  Tongue


To explain it simply (for Torie)

The Electoral College is based on 100 Senators, 435 Representatives and 3 Electoral College Votes for the District of Columbia.

The concensus is probably correct that New Hampshire is the best bet for Romney

Alaska and Hawaii weren't states yet when Torie learned this stuff in school.  Hence his confusion.


If that is true, then the District of Columbia had no Electoral College votes then either.

Also what Torie said was "272-266 is missing an electoral vote."  To me that would imply that he believes there should be 539 Electoral College votes, as he asserts one is missing from the 272-266 formula.

That was obvious.

When you began you asserted that “Torie learned this stuff…”, it was pretty obviousl
