I have a new favorite website: electoral-vote.com. This site tracks new state polls every day, telling you a little bit about how the polls were done and what they mean. As candidates gain or lose ground in each state, the electoral college totals are updated, giving you a pretty clear picture of where they are in the race that really matters in getting elected.

There’s all sorts of interesting info sprinkled all over the site, so take some time to poke around. The very short but clear description of how the electoral college works is my favorite, but the electoral college votes over time graph is good too.

Ah, statistics.

Below this should be an up-to-the-minute count of the electoral college votes for each candidate, as compiled at electoral-vote.com.

Your counter does not work. Besides that, I’m just wondering if you will change the layout of your current page. If you do plan on it, would you be willing to submit this one for public use on BlogSkis… preferably with the PSD files?

What counter?

“Below this should be an up-to-the-minute count of the electoral college votes for each candidate, as compiled at electoral-vote.com.”

That does not show up. Could you please also answer the second part of my question.

Oh, sorry. Your first question distracted me from the second.

1) That counter is some Flash file, so you’d have to have that installed. I should have mentioned that.

2) I’m not sure that releasing this layout makes sense. The header graphic has my name hard coded into it, which is I suppose why you might want the PSDs… except that I did it in The Gimp. But that doesn’t matter cause I bet I don’t have them anyway. The closest I could get you would be to find the design I based this on on BlogSkins… or you can steal this design and go nuts.

Ah, yes. Green Impact. That’s the one it’s based on.

Awesome, thanks. I’ll try to extract the cowboy picture and stuff.
