interesting map here
http://www.electoral-vote.com/

by this it looks like Kerry only has the full support of six states
While Bush has 19 states
Of course its the electoral votes in each state that counts

On the Channel Six (peter jennings) News. A tie in electorial votes gets thrown back to the House of Representatives and each State gets 1 vote. They figured GW Bush 34... kerry 16.

And that's the way it is.

Yo Rick:

I simply pointed out the correct procedure in the advent of an electorial tie.

I firmly believe and predict that "our" most beloved President the Honorable George W. Bush will receive at least a minimum 287 electorial votes.
