Yeah so, but we'll take complete repudiation (Ha) of the fraud we call Obama by the Alabama Supreme Court. Judge Moore's court could strike from the record that Obama was ever a presidential candidate in 2008 or in 2012 for the state of Alabama. So whoever came in third in 2008 and 2012 could become the runner up for those years. Heh.
Obama defeated McCain by 365 to 173 or by 192 electoral votes. Obama defeated Romney by 332 to 206 or by 126 electoral votes. The state of Alabama has 9 electoral votes.
State electoral votes are “winner take all.” There is no such thing as a “runner up” in the Electoral College in Alabama; however two states proportion their electoral votes by congressional district: Maine and Nebraska.
