    And do you mean electoral or popular vote percentages? The two are never simialar.

    Because in the election of 1800 there was actually a tie.

    In the 20th century, there was a difference of 100,000 votes (less than 0.5% of the vote) in the election that elected JFK - but JFK had 15% more electoral votes.
    Great call. I was talking about the popular vote, should've been more clear. The 1800 election, but 1876 was even worse under your terms.

    Ah damn.

    I was trying to drag you hook and sinker into a debate about the EC, and ultimately proportional reprenation (the solution to everything). Once PR is instated, AIDS and cancer will be cured, world peace will ensue for 1000 years, no man will ever suffer from hemmroids again, and everyone women will have physical attractiveness equal to or greater than lindsay lohen. Why do you hate the children with AIDS, huh? You could end their suffering, if only you wouldn't OPPRESS, yes, OPPRESS the minorities of the nation by daring to draw single memeber districts!

    Damn, I'll get you next time, I swear! *laughs maniacally*

    Technically, no, it doesn't. The new century begins at 12:00 AM January 1st of the year '01, not 00. 1800 was the last year of the 18th century, not the first year of the 19th.

    There now: aren't you glad you got out of bed this morning?
