"Our stories are singular but our destinies are shared." - Okay, if nothing else, we are going to have a president who can orate. That we don't have to cringe when he opens his mouth; instead we will perk up our ears. How long has it been?
Proud to be an American, damn it. Proud!
...now I am going back to bed. *collapse*

There's a Wiki article on it...basically,yes the votes are counted, but what counts is whether a candidate wins a majority in a state. If they get a majority (even by just 51%) they get all the electors for that state...
...umm, yes, it's confusing! Our democracy needs some help...but at least it worked this year! XP
