We're still on in Illinois, Wisconsin, Vermont, Mass., Hawaii and West Virginia- we weren't on in those states the previous Prez. Election.

We’re still on in Illinois, Wisconsin, Vermont, Mass., Hawaii and West Virginia- we weren’t on in those states the previous Prez. Election.

If one gets ultra-theoretical and includes write-ins, then Brian Moore and Frank Moore could also be elected.

That's well known. Are you asking who could hypothetically win a plurality if they won every vote they could possibly get and the rest of the vote was split equally between the other candidates? That's just too much work. Only Obama, McCain, Nader, Barr, and McKinney can win in the electoral college. That’s well known.

Now for the addendum: who on those list can mathematically win the election? I see that list as being Obama, McCain, Barr, Nader, Moore, probably McKinney and Baldwin. Mind, that's who can mathematically win, not who's liekly to. Good stuff. Now for the addendum: who on those list can mathematically win the election?

Ohio cast 5,627,908 votes for president in 2004, but Illinois only cast 5,274,322. Ohio had higher turnout than Illinois because in 2004 the major party nominees campaigned like crazy in Ohio, but ignored Illinois, since Ohio was too close to call but Illinois was safe for the Democrats.

How can it be that Richard Duncan's name will be seen by more voters than John Joseph Polachek? Duncan is on the ballot in Ohio which has 20 EV while Polachek is on the ballot in Illinois with 21 EV. According to the U.S. Census Ohio has 11,478,000 people while Illinois has 12,831,970. Ohio's secretary of state reported 8.2 million registered voters. I don't have the current number of register voters in Illinois but there were 7.3 million registered voters in 2006. Are you sure about your numbers?
