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...

We aren't a democracy... we are a strange bastardization of a republic...

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.
