Legally the electoral voters are bound to pick the popular vote in their area, but heres something i bet you dont know..
The electoral votes for each area shifted since the last election and if each state had the same electoral votes as it did in the last election kerry would have won..
Population trends will shift electoral votes around..
Ohio actually had a retroactive amendment to allow each are to input its own electoral vote instead of all the electoral votes for ohio going to the majority winner. But it didnt pass.

Redistricting... One of many news terms bandied about last night. I heard they did it in Texas for example, in areas that had voted Gore last time.
Didn't hear about the amendment in Ohio though.
