Keywords:Electoral-Vote.com (formally, Electoral Vote Predictor) is the website of computer scientist Andrew S. Tanenbaum. The site's primary content is poll analysis to project the outcome of U.S. elections. The site also includes commentary on related news stories.
Well known for its color-coded electoral map of the United States, the site was created during the lead-up to the 2004 U.S. Presidential election to predict the winner. The site tries to improve on national polls usually reported in the media by predicting which way each state's electoral vote will go based on statewide polls. U.S. presidents are in fact elected by separate popular elections in each state, rather than direct popular vote of the entire country. The winner of each election receives the state's electoral votes equal to its members of Congress (see Electoral College for details). EV.com's method thus simulates the actual process. Updated throughout the campaign, visitors can see who is "ahead" at any time. |
