Fun with the Electoral College!

Funny ways to create a narrow Electoral College majority:

* States with names beginning in A-M over N-Z states (290-248)
* Territory of the U.S. in 1783 over subsequent acquisitions (286-252)
* 40 smallest states over 10 largest states (282-256)

In addition, the 11 largest vs. the 39 smallest produces a 269-269 tie.

Try it yourself. More time-wastin' fun than a barrel time-wastin' monkeys.
