(Using preliminary results, from Associated Press for most
states, and using standard rounding -- X.5 goes up. In some states such as CA,
CO, and others, none of the alternate candidates not listed here -- but on the
ballot -- individually earned one full vote in this tally, but cumulatively they
and the rounding error in the two major party's numbers account for a 'missing'
ECV. Nader is given a column even though he was not on every ballot.)

Don't pooh-pooh the "missing" column -- it represents a serious conundrum: when the math does not entitle a candidate to full additional vote, you need some way to figure out what to do with the vote(s) that wind up unallocated.
On possibility is to award them to the candidate who won that state overall -- this would have the effect of amplifying small differences in most cases. In the above, I think this would result in Bush 263, Gore 268 -- but IA, NM, and WI are so close that it's hard to say.
