Jan 8, 2008 Congress named Obama to be next president, was presided and announce by VP Cheney. Sorry “Birthers”.

I just recounted them physically on the National Archives site. 365 votes for Obama.

286 votes? What happened to the 365 “landslide” votes we were all shoveled by the Mainstream Media? Did I miss something here?

If this is the correct count, then the 15 votes in New Jersey and 7 votes in Connecticuit would cause Obama to fail to obtain the 270 votes recessary to win.

Interesting indeed.

Not a problem. Was curious to see if there was any effect to be seen, but traditionally electors are pretty serious about the person they’re to vote for.

ken,

I think you’ll see from my bottom-of-post update that I have a link to where all 50 States + DC have been accounted.

Thanks for the comment,

NOT TRUE!!! check out the federal archives – all 50 states are in and Obama has 286 electoral votes. NOT one elector stood up to protest.

Patrick McKinnion,

In my opinion, things would have to go pretty extraordinarily for their to be a “faithless” elector (notwithstanding allegations of ineligibility).

Just looked at the certificate of vote for each state + DC on that link (thanks)

Doesn’t look like there’s any evidence of “faithless electors”.

I only hope and pray it’s because Obama is NOT Illegible to be President. I only hope that America will wake up and abide by the Constitution!

Good to hear they’re all in. That makes all the electors who voted for Obama or McCain accountable for Obama’s and McCain’s eligibility.

This is yet another example that the Election process is clearly broken. If you look at the 2000 and 2004 results on the National Archives site, all of the votes have been tallied. Let us hope that all of these will be processed before January 8, 2009. Otherwise it will allow Congress to do whatever they want instead of being forced to deal with ineligibility issues of the current election.
