There is a famous picture of Truman holding up a newspaper with the bold headline "Dewey Wins!" The thing about electoral votes is it is all or nothing. Each state has a number of electoral votes based on population. In a big state like California, the popular vote can be very close and the winner, if even by only one vote, gets ALL of the electoral votes. Florida became the pivot point for Bush/Gore. When the recount was stopped and the Supreme Court declare Bush the winner, he got the electoral votes which made him president even though the popular vote was for Gore.thanks
