Al Gore Calls for End of Electoral College

90. Right, using your example numbers

You are working with 300 million citizens, and 3,000 total electoral college places.

If about 6 million vote in Ohio (roughly the same as 2008), then, to shift 14 EC places out of 115, you fake 14/115 * 6 million = 730,435 votes. It's a turnout of 6/11.5= 52% of the total number of citizens.

The fraud would be 14 out of 3,000 - 0.466% of the college.

In a direct election, with the same turnout across the country, that's 52% of 300 million = 156 million. 730,435/156 million is 0.00466, ie 4.6%.
