The Detroit Free Slave Press article has a little more news, Franco Harris, former NFL star, was among 21 Obama electors from PA. They also admit that the process is not finished until Congress "tallies the outcome of Monday's vote". How about that?
The NY Slimes is a rather snotty pre vote piece, so no news there either.
The San Jose Mercury Snooze piece was an editorial summarized as "The only place the Electoral College belongs today is in history books as a quaint reminder of olden days". Not mentioning that it would require a Constitutional Amendment to do that. Fancy that.
New York's Newsday, also slipped a bunch of "eliminate the EC" editorializing into the story, whose only "news" was that a NY legislator has introduced a Bill to eliminate the EC, and that 49 states have had such bills, with 4 states having passed them. Oh, and the electors also voted to give back their stipend, all of $15 each.
Oregon's News Review reports that one elector could not make it to the state capital, and that the state's Secretary of State was elected as a substitute.
The Houston Carbuncle reports that the electoral college vote is merely "ceremonial". But there was some Good News (for us Texicans at least) "Republicans still hold all statewide elected offices and control both chambers of the Legislature."
In Maryland, according to the Washington Compost, state law had to be "loosely interpreted" to all the electors to vote. (But they are Dems, they are used to loose interpretations of the law that allow them to do whatever they want). It seems the State House is closed for refurbishment, and state law requires them to meet there. They did not. Maybe someone can challenge those 10 votes on that basis. No longer than voting need take, they could do the ceremonial parts elsewhere, they could have all put on hard hats, trooped in, cast their ballots, and trooped out. But bending the law is easier than thinking about how to obey it, for 'Rats.
That's all I can stomach. I guess there was no real news in the electoral college votes. Of course they haven't been counted yet, and at least in some states they appear to be on secret ballots, so there still might be some news come January 6th.
Darn, the "tea leaves" aspect of 'rat electors, even just one, voting for someone other than The Anointed One, would have been "interesting".
I changed the search a bit to add "tally" and what should pop up, first even, but a story from AZCentral.com
In all 50 states and the District of Columbia, 538 electors Monday performed a constitutional process to legally elect Democrat Barack Obama the 44th president. With every state reporting, all the electors had cast ballots in accordance with the popular votes in their states. Obama's election is not complete until Congress tallies the outcome of the Electoral College vote at a joint session scheduled for Jan. 6
(The correct date is January 8th, Public Law 110-430 changed the date of the electoral vote in Congress in 2009 from January 6 to January 8. This date change is effective only for the 2008 presidential election.
So, either the fix is in, or the DemonRats are putting all their eggs in the Bama Basket, confident that there will be no DQ of The Messaih, The One We Have Been Waiting For, the Kenyan.

Think I'll search over at AP just to be sure.... Couldn't find any confirmation of that. But stories on the EC vote are few and far between, and usually puff pieces with no hard news or numbers.
