Pretty sure you have already seen this in some form.

Those 5 States alone add up to 71 electoral votes.

So subtract 71 from Obama total of 332 , leaving 261 electoral votes.

Add 71 to Romney total of 206 - making 277 electoral votes.

The total spread of these 5 states is just slightly under 300k votes. So, Romney lost by ~300k votes if we want to talk simply in additive terms... if we consider switched votes, he lost by ~150k. All 5 states are within the margin of possible skullduggery , should said skullduggery exist. (And not exactly the same tale the final electoral numbers would tell, 150k or even 300k does not a landslide make)

I know math does not seem to be your strong suit, despite some odd claims of using math to make huge dollars.... but this is just simple arithmetic.

Please, at least try to keep up.
