This is just for "closure," of a topic which preoccupied the thread for a while.

Bush Wins Electoral College Majority
By ROBERT TANNER
Associated Press Writer

With unwavering support Monday from the electors who had pledged to vote for him, George W. Bush secured the Electoral College majority needed to become the 43rd president.

Nevada's four electors put the Texas governor over the top with a total of 271 votes, one more than the Constitution requires.

That closed the door on the remote possibility that a few "faithless electors'' who had pledged to vote for Bush might upset his victory by casting their ballots instead for Vice President Al Gore.

All that remains is for Congress to make the votes official on Jan. 6.
