Obama officially wins his reelection; Romney's hopes officially gone

[EmperorScorpious]

[QUOTE](CNN) – Election Day has long since passed and President Barack Obama remains the country's pick for the White House, but Monday marks the day electors from every state meet to officially vote the incumbent into office.

November 6 saw Obama pass the electoral threshold of 270 – from a total of 538 votes - as ballots from Ohio rolled in, besting Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Ultimately, Obama won 332 electoral votes, with 51% of the popular vote, to Romney's 207, with 47% of the popular vote.

Under the U.S. Constitution, the president and vice president are elected indirectly by electors, who are elected by popular vote.

Electors meet in their respective state capitals on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December. Each state has electors equal to its representation in Congress.

Congressional districts in every state choose an elector to cast the official ballot of the region. In most states electors must pledge to vote for the candidate who receives the majority of the vote in their state.[/quote]

Hopefully all the electors are True Americans, and vote Romney in to save us from the red democrat menace.

I admit, I did consider sending a message to Smurfy for his thoughts on it. But then I got lazy :v:

Those rating late don't understand how the electoral college in the US works.

Not saying I blame them, it's pretty ass backwards, but still

I've seen so many polls and studies and such referencing Romney, and it always comes out to 47% for him. He really cursed himself it seems.

Six years too early bro; they have yet to come in peace.

On a more serious note, there's pretty much no question that this will run smoothly, unless it gets interrupted because of mass suicides. Because some people are that dumb. I hope it doesn't happen, but it might, and on the bright side there'll be a lot of nominees for the next Darwin Awards. (hoping this ain't too off-colour)
