So I got the idea, mainly because the average person seems to know fuckall about the electoral system, so play a little game.

Basically in this first post I will be posting an alphabetical list with states and their electoral points besides them. That electoral point system will be only for tie breakers (will explain). Copy and paste the list and after each state put either TRUMP or CLINTON (or 3rd party if you're feeling frisky, CAPS SEMI-OPTIONAL). This is just a game to see who can guess the most state winners correctly, in reality it comes down to battle ground states but some states look purple in this election that have never been in play before, so who knows.

The winner of this contest will receive 250 fg from me as a reward to actually guess. If there is a tie in who guessed the correct number of states, whomever was closest to the electoral point totals wins. So in that sense its better to be incorrect about a small state than a large one. Do with that what you will.

Here is the list, i will post mine likely later today:

If you could total the number of states for each that's cool, otherwise i'll keep a running tally on a list.

Alabama- 9
Alaska- 3
Arizona- 11
Arkansas- 6
California- 55
Colorado- 9

Fuuuuuuck, just outside of the edit window...

ok ya just use the site listed, that's better. And we can just go straight closest in electoral count if that's easier given that platform. The reason i went states over electoral votes is i didnt want to have to do the adding.

and yes, i am new to the internet.

here is mine.

I love that trumps chances are so narrow that the exact same map was already posted twice, lol

I like the original scoring method better because a person could get a bunch wrong but still get the electoral count almost dead on.

I'd either do states won, or, for each state you get correct you get that many electoral votes, most wins, although that's a bit less fair, but whatever.
