What if Obama loses the electoral college votes on December 15?

I know that Barack Obama is our president-elect. I know that the votes that decide our president are the electoral college votes and that will happen on December 15th. The constitution of some states requires the electoral college to vote according to the popular vote, but many do not. If the electoral college is not legally bound to vote the same way as the popular vote of their state, they are free to do as they wish. So, my question is even though he won by popular vote, do you think it's possible that Barack Obama could lose the electoral college votes on December 15th?What if Obama loses the electoral college votes on December 15?Probably not because he won by such a large margin. But, if the popular vote in any given state was really close, it would be possible that the vote count could change. Anything could happen, look at 2004 when the Supreme court chose the President.What if Obama loses the electoral college votes on December 15?
That would suck, because John McCain already conceded so who else is still in the race? Ralph Nader?



They are not legally bound to vote according to popular vote, but they do have to vote for someone who is still on the ballot.

John McCain removed himself from the ballot by conceding.What if Obama loses the electoral college votes on December 15?No, it's only happened twice in the history of the electoral college. Not to mention almost 100 electoral votes would have to change for McCain to win not just one or two.What if Obama loses the electoral college votes on December 15?
Anything is possible. But I wouldn't hold your breath. That would be grounds for civil war and at the very least abolishing the electoral college system.What if Obama loses the electoral college votes on December 15?That would be one awesome twist, but it won't happen.What if Obama loses the electoral college votes on December 15?
So maybe I can put off my Draino cocktail a while longer? Yipee!
