- achille 14y agoYour 313 figure is incorrect. Obama won with 332 votes to Romney's 206. See the link I posted.
- dripton 14y agoSorry, I was looking at the wrong page while I wrote that. But the greater point stands -- swinging Florida, Ohio, and Virginia would not have swung the election.
- thedufer 14y ago313 was Nate Silver's average outcome prediction. The mode of 332 is what actually happened.
- bas 14y agoNo, the parent was correct. 313 to 225 was Nate Silver's prediction (note "Forecast"). The actual electoral vote was (assuming Obama won Florida) 332 to 206.
