Electors (2008)

There is an ongoing effort coordinated by the Democratic Disaster website, to collect the names and addresses, and hopefully the phone numbers and electors of all the electors for the 2008 Presidential Election.

These are the members of the Electoral College for 2008, organized into 4 groups. Some checkmarks and x marks appear next to the highlighted links to individual state articles. These are described in the legend section.

Legend
