and out over PA and into West Virginia.
It may make the turnout lower than anticipated but it should not change the outcome as far as the EC is concerned.
However, a lower turnout in blue states such as New York and New Jersey could bring us a president who wins the EC but loses the popular vote.
If that happens, I wonder what the gangs that intimidated the FLA chad counters in 2000 will do to bully EC voters to vote for the real winner.
The way the conservatives behave, I would be surprised if they started to riot if president Obama is elected by the EC but doesn't win the over all vote.
The question I have, will we be prepared to battle the storm troopers?

2. There's no office they're in you can protest at
3. Most of them couldn't change their vote if they wanted to because of "faithless elector" laws.
