The official popular vote numbers for 2008 are here:
https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/2008/popular-vote.html
and Dave counted about 440,000 more.  Write-ins were 260,000 and do not account for the difference.
The official vote for 2012 is here:
https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/2012/popular-vote.html
And Dave counted about 680,000 more, write-ins were 284,000 again not enough to account for the difference.
