What the Election Would Look Like if it Was Decided by: [Fill In the Blank]
This is a pretty neat site that shows us what the Electoral Map would have looked like this year if only women voted, or men, or people over 65, etc, etc, etc.
The information is of little practical use – but it’s quite fascinating for you Government junkies!

According to CNN exit polls, this is what the map would have looked like if voters 65 and older decided the election.
It’s too bad for McCain that all those voters under 65 showed up! (kidding)

Challenged Ballots: You Decide
The Senate race in Minnesota STILL isn’t decided!
The race between incumbent Republican Norm Coleman and Democrat and former comedian Al Franken was too close to call after the votes were counted. In fact, after over 2 MILLION votes were counted, the difference was less than 300 votes.
LESS THAN 300 VOTES!!!
(Don’t ever let anyone EVER tell you that their vote doesn’t count)
The state of Minnesota is currently recounting the votes. While this seems simple, it really isn’t at all. Sometimes its hard to tell EXACTLY what the voters intent is!
Can you tell who the voter intended to vote for?
Challenged ballots: You be the judge – Minnesota Public Radio puts together a sample of challenged ballots like this one.
Check it out!

Obama Wins
In case you have been living in a cave and your only source of news is MrOsman.com – Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States of America. He landed the 270 (and more) electoral college votes that he needed.
Were your electoral college predictions correct?
