There are no certified winners in any State so if you only consider "certified winners" you cannot say that either candidate has won any of the States. I would agree with that. However, I am not making "technicality" argument; there is a reasonable expectation in States where there is a larger plurality that the certification will follow. In the case of Florida, and now, New Mexico, the final outcome, i.e., the plurality is in question and the certification is in question. Hence, New Mexico is in the undecided column until they certify the results. I've asked sandintoes a number of questions, which he/she has declined to answer. One of those questions is posed in the URL below. I might ask that you answer the question and an additional one: Should something similar happen in the Presidential election, e.g., a candidate is declared the winner by popular vote [prematurely]; the State of Florida certifies that result; and prior to the meeting of the EC it is determined that the certification of the candidate was in error. What would like you have the EC do? Message 14777994 I'll assume that you agree with the other points made in the post you have responded to. Regards, jttmab jttmab
