I have updated corrected write-in figures for the state of New Hampshire in the General Election of 2004 for Presidential Candidates: Michael Badnarik, Michael Peroutka, and “Write-ins” (i.e. other write-ins) at the city/town and precinct level. Upon compiling the precinct-level data several weeks ago, I noticed that the data for individual write-in candidates posted on their web site under “Individual write-ins” did not reconcile with the total scattering vote at the precinct level (the figures did correlate at the county level). I emailed the New Hampshire Secretary of State Elections Division to ask about the discrepancy. Today, I received the following (very interesting) reply:
I received your email about the discrepancies in the write in votes for president. After having 3 different people work on these numbers, I decided to do it myself. Yes there were discrepancies. I went through each and every town and made corrections. I hope to have those corrections posted on our website in a couple of days. (maybe today..can’t promise) Thank you for calling this to my attention.
The new figures have been updated on the Atlas.
What about Nebraska?
Does anyone know what the odds of a Democrat winning ONE electoral vote there?
I know statewide it is one of the most Republican states. It went Dem in ’64 but that is a rarity. One would assume that all three districts are not worth competing for. If a Dem could realistically compete there, it could be a 269-269 tie braker, but generally the candidates wouldn’t think one electoral vote would be worth the money.
Sorry, that was posted in the wrong place.
