Why has one EV in Maine been called for McCain? http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ has called all EVs in Maine for Obama. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.127.15.130 ( talk) 01:28, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I strongly suggest adding a total electoral vote number for each candidate next time the picture is updated. That way the total/current numbers can be easily noticed. A good location would be by the color legend. For instance:

CNN and Fox News, which are the two sources mentioned for this file, have already called Montana for McCain. Why revert the file, why remove this change? On the one hand, CNN hasn't called Indiana for Obama yet, and the image does so; on the other, the election article already considers McCain won Missouri and Obama North Carolina. Shouldn't the Wikipedia coverage be consistent? 189.79.82.137 ( talk) 10:37, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I like the map with the star icon for DC, to make it more visible. Please keep the star icon! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jez9999 ( talk • contribs) 15:50, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Missouri has not been called for McCain by many sources, change it back.-- Nebula Wolf ( talk) 18:28, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Quote:
The Associated Press declared Obama the winner after canvassing counties in North Carolina to determine the number of outstanding provisional ballots. That survey found that there are not enough remaining ballots for Republican John McCain to close a 13,693-vote deficit.
North Carolina's 15 electoral votes brings Obama's total to 364 - nearly 100 more than necessary to win the White House - to McCain's 162. Missouri is the only state that remains too close to call, with McCain leading by several thousand votes.
Obama's win in North Carolina was the first for a Democratic presidential candidate since Jimmy Carter won the state in 1976.

After adding images of electoral maps to Electoral vote changes between United States presidential elections, it was obvious that a naming convention had been followed for these maps, one that hasn't been followed here. (Examples: Image:ElectoralCollege2004.svg, Image:ElectoralCollege2000.svg, Image:ElectoralCollege1996.svg, Image:ElectoralCollege1984.svg, Image:ElectoralCollege1976.svg, Image:ElectoralCollege1960.svg).
