#2votenight.com allows people to predict US Electoral map and share shortURL of the Electoral map. You can embed the electoral map prediction on your website / blog. Looking for any kind of feedback on this project that can make it easier and fun for people to use.

#4The historical maps don't take reapportionment into account. For example, if you select "2008: Obama vs McCain," it shows Texas with 38 electoral votes, but it had only 34 back then. Also, Reagan's name is misspelled.

#5Point of correction: Nebraska and Maine have congressional-district based [1] EV counts (in fact Obama won 1 point in Nebraska - basically Omaha in 2008).

Good point, may be I should disable displaying electoral count for historical maps until actual numbers are implemented, thanks
