In the most recent Presidential election, the actual number of votes cast
were actually *greater* for the loser, with the electoral college system
causing the difference in outcome. It's unusual for election


Actually not ALL the votes in ALL the states were EVEN counted......so who even
knows who got the popular vote....not that it really matters....given the
electorial system...and if you think the electorial system is a crock, then you
should think the house vs senate is as well, because they have the same basic
premise....

There are IIRC several states that only count until its "obvious" who wins the
state....then they stop counting...so those uncounted numbers never show up in
the popular count vote...

take care

BLLLL
