The stream quality on NH is hilarious; they sound as if they've had 20 pints.

We're going to have the most faithless electors (faithless is more common for VP) in a couple of centuries, but before anyone gets too excited, there were 2 in 1832 and 6 in 1808. That's it for elections with multiple faithless electors.

There were actually 23 in 1836, but all for VP. The VP election actually got thrown to the Senate for the only time when New York delegation refused to vote for Van Buren's running mate.

It was Virginia, actually, and he was denied election by one vote. Needless to say he was elected by the Senate.

I had a phone call so missed most of the ceremony, but I liked the history presented by the SOS.

New Hampshire has had four electoral votes since 1884.

In the first election in 1788 they didn't know how to hold an election, so they just used special election and had the sheriffs of each county tell the towns to hold an election. The votes were quite scattered, and state law required a majority for election. So they called a special session of the legislature, which after a 10-day deadlock finally agreed to choose the five electors from among the Top 10. Histories present this as being pre-arranged (i.e. popular vote, but if no majority it would be decided by the legislature; but it was pretty much ad hoc).

One of the electors really is Dudley Dudley or Dudley, Dudley.

South Carolina voting soon but first they're singing America the Beautiful.

Edit: Now they're singing God Bless America. Could be awhile.

Is this a normal thing or not?
