Point of correction: Nebraska and Maine have congressional-district based [1] EV counts (in fact Obama won 1 point in Nebraska - basically Omaha in 2008).

Yep, that's a known implementation gap, there was no simple way to implement it, do skipped it, will work on finding a solution, thanks

The historical maps don't take reapportionment into account. For example, if you select "2008: Obama vs McCain," it shows Texas with 38 electoral votes, but it had only 34 back then. Also, Reagan's name is misspelled.

Good point, may be I should disable displaying electoral count for historical maps until actual numbers are implemented, thanks

votenight.com allows people to predict US Electoral map and share shortURL of the Electoral map. You can embed the electoral map prediction on your website / blog. Looking for any kind of feedback on this project that can make it easier and fun for people to use.
