    someone explain the electoral college in SC to me. Rollover this map...

    http://news.yahoo.com/election/2008/...jRhmrrpOxsnwcF

    It claims McCain got 44% of the vote and 3000 less popular votes, yet he won the state. How?

      Electoral College doesn't have to follow popular...

                      it updated with more counties or something reporting in...

                      its funny because if McCain wins overall due to the electoral college he might finish with several points lower overall % of of the vote.
