	Really good quiz, especially in terms of layout and time (though maybe you could afford to take a minute or two off). I'd recommend using a different source, though; while I like Nate Silver as much as anyone else, a dynamic, continuously updated map like the ones maintained by Politico, the NYTimes, or the Washington Post would be a much better option. You also really need to update/check the percentages--Arizona, for instance, is now only Romney +10.1%, but a lot of the other states are slightly different from what you have here as well.

	I don't like having the electoral count there. Makes the quiz too easy, and basically changes the whole thing.

	Quiz has been updated. Arizona is the only state that changed positions. As for the electoral count, on one hand it could make this a bit easy for someone who really knows the electoral college, but if I remove it, I'm not sure how else I would give a hint to distinguish between say Louisiana and Texas.

	I agree with MikeN. Dralcoffin - perhaps you do something a little different. Large or Small State (cut of at 12 electoral votes or 15 or whatever). Can't confuse TX and LA that way.

	Perhaps the numbers could be updated to reflect the final margins now that they've finally finished counting (e.g. CO, VA & OH should be bigger margins, & at least IA/NH and MO/AZ, probably others have flipped in the order)

	^^^Done. The new source also permits me to go one more decimal point, so no more "ties" between states. I'll mull over the Large/Small State suggestion some more.
