22. it doesn't matter if it's close

04 was not as close as you think. exit polls showed kerry with 314 electoral votes and a 3 million vote nationwide victory.

when you control virtually all of the vote counting, it doesn't matter how close it is.

you are correct about the phantom votes. check these fact sheets for more:
