Romney Campaign Accidentally Launches Transition Web Site

stevegee58 writes "The Mitt Romney presidential campaign accidentally launched a transition website the day after the election. Sporting a 'President Elect' seal and a catchy new tagline ('Smaller, Simpler, Smarter') , the site was up briefly before the gaffe was discovered and the site taken down. Fortunately an alert blogger, Taegan Goddard, found the errant site and published some screen shots."

Not Florida, alone, but technically, the Electoral College ballots aren't counted until early in January.

There is a bit more leeway than one would think, although the results, as they now stand are extremely unlikely to change.

Most states electors are bound by law if they don't vote the way they have been tasked, however, electors in the following ttates are not bound by Law to cast their vote for a specific candidate:
ARIZONA ARKANSAS DELAWARE GEORGIA IDAHO ILLINOIS INDIANA IOWA KANSAS KENTUCKY LOUISIANA MINNESOTA MISSOURI NEW HAMPSHIRE NEW JERSEY NEW YORK NORTH DAKOTA PENNSYLVANIA RHODE ISLAND SOUTH DAKOTA TENNESSEE TEXAS UTAH WEST VIRGINIA

If all of those red counties unite and choose to secede, they'll control a good chunk of the oil, coal and farmland.

Yeah, that was a large part of the Confederate States of America's reasoning too. "We've got the cotton and farmlands! The yankees will surely fall before us!"

Guess how that turned out.
