Additional votes are still coming in, but, as of the time of my writing, Romney received around 57.8 million votes in 2012. In 2008, John McCain received 59.9 million. Romney got over 2 million fewer votes than McCain. And in the final count, he will almost certainly have received considerably fewer votes than McCain.

Sigh. Add yet another author to the incompetent moron brigade.

It's basically mathemetically certain that Romney will have ended up with more votes than McCain.

Long Lines and Less votes. Does not make sense. Reports from voters was pretty consistent. Nearly all reported much greater turnout than in 2008. Much longer waiting time than in 2008. Many reported the largest crowds they had ever seen in 2012. Something smells about the count. THE FOREIGNER receiving less votes than 2008 makes sense and would support his losing the independent vote. ROMNEY getting equal or less votes than McCAIN does not support the independent switch to his side.
