The Results Are In!

Well, the American public has voted, and you have also voted.

In the true American election, Barak Obama pulled ahead in victory. According to the Electoral College, Obama won by a very large margin; according to the popular vote, it was fairly close. Obama finished with 62.98 million votes (52%), and McCain finished with 55.75 million votes (48%).

In our sophomore classes the margin was a little wider.

Obama finished with 92 votes (82%)
McCain finished with 13 votes (11%)
Bob Barr finished with 3 votes (2%)
Cynthia McKinney got one vote (>1%) Go Cindy!

If we considered each of the five classes to be one state, Barak Obama would have come away with a clean sweep, holding all five of the electoral college votes, McCain with none.

Thanks for voting!
