Electoral-vote, sobre o voto dos Democrats Abroad de que o autor do site faz parte:

«Chalk up another one for Barack Obama. With the announcement of the results of the Democrats Abroad primary, Obama has now won 11 primaries and caucuses in a row. Democrats Abroad represents the Democrats among the approximately 7 million Americans living outside the U.S. (a population greater than that of 37 of the 50 states). The Democratic Party considers DA to be a state and allocates 22 delegates each with half a vote to it (so Americans from more countries can go to the convention). For the first time ever, DA held an Internet primary. It ran for a week. Democrats in 164 countries voted by Internet, mail-in ballots, and in person at 30 voting centers around the world. The results were announced yesterday with Obama getting 66% of the vote and Clinton getting 32%. Obama gets 5 half-votes and Clinton gets 4 half votes as a result of the regional proportionality rules. Another five half-vote delegates will be selected at the DA Global Convention in April. There are also 8 half votes for PLEOs. The Internet primary allowed Democrats in far-flung locations to vote, including Democrat Adam Lutchansky, who is stationed at the U.S. scientific base at McMurdo, Antarctica, who voted on his computer».
