But my point was that he shows the state as 50/50. So why does he give Bush the electoral votes rather than Kerry?

"PA is winner-take-all. There are 2 proportional states. One, IIRC, is Maine and I can't recall the other one. I know the savvy statisticians know which ones, exactly."



Maine and Nebraska both hand out 2 EVs to the candidate who carries the state and 1 EV each for the candidate who carries each congressional district. No state uses proportional representation to hand out EVs.

When you average the ask price with the bid price, PA is actually 51/49 in favor of Bush (there's a sentence to that effect right after the scores).
