Hold the Presses!

I changed the search a bit to add "tally" and what should pop up, first even, but a story from AZCentral.com

In all 50 states and the District of Columbia, 538 electors Monday performed a constitutional process to legally elect Democrat Barack Obama the 44th president. With every state reporting, all the electors had cast ballots in accordance with the popular votes in their states. Obama's election is not complete until Congress tallies the outcome of the Electoral College vote at a joint session scheduled for Jan. 6

(The correct date is January 8th, Public Law 110-430 changed the date of the electoral vote in Congress in 2009 from January 6 to January 8. This date change is effective only for the 2008 presidential election.

So, either the fix is in, or the DemonRats are putting all their eggs in the Bama Basket, confident that there will be no DQ of The Messaih, The One We Have Been Waiting For, the Kenyan.

...

Think I'll search over at AP just to be sure.... Couldn't find any confirmation of that. But stories on the EC vote are few and far between, and usually puff pieces with no hard news or numbers.

It’s difficult to believe that there have been no faithless electors, in this, the strangest presidential election we’ve had in many years. It’s stranger than 2000, to be honest. You’d think there would have been at least one for Hillary, encouraged by the DNC as a sort of failsafe against efforts to disqualify Obama. You’d also think, given the widespread disaffection with McCain and the adulation accorded Palin, that at least one going to her would have been likely.
