Description
English: Electoral college map for the 2008 United States presidential election (note: Nebraska and Maine split their EVs by congressional district).

Please only update the map when a state is projected SAFE after the final polling place is closed. Do not crystal ball the results. Wait until at least three news organizations call a state before changing the colour: see Pollster.com to see who has called what.
