. New electoral vote totals for 2004-2008
by JAMES R WHITSON < james@presidentelect.org >

... .
The Census Bureau has released its data from the 2000 Census. According to the Constitution, every ten years a count is made of the United States population to determine how many Representatives each state is allotted in Congress. The census is important in presidential politics since the number of votes each state is given in the Electoral College is figured by adding the number of Representatives and Senators it has. The new data shows 18 states will see a change in their electoral votes for the next two presidential elections. Had the 2000 election been held using the new numbers, Bush would have won 278-259-1.
