though I think it's strange that nationwide percentage and nationwide total votes make up 2/3 the challenge, considering they're basically the same thing.

With the nationwide percentage, it's a bit easier to get a perfect prediction, but still quite hard as you have to make 3 predictions. I included nationwide total votes as a challenge as a way to test the limits of your predicting abilities. I'm not expecting anyone to correctly predict the total number of votes cast for at least one of the candidates.

I'd rather have the main challenge be a two-parter: nationwide percentage and electoral votes. And then as a bonus anyone "hardcore" would have the option of guessing who wins each state, and with what percentage.

I guess I could split the contest into two parts. There will be a winner for the main challenge and also a winner for the bonus challenge. The winner for the bonus challenge will be determined by who has the highest score from the main challenge and the bonus challenge combined.

It has a lot more to do with not living in the US...

Alright then, so I wouldn't expect you to know how the US presidential election system works.

I'm on Kaxon's side on this one, I really don't like the idea of calling it the Oracle Challenge.....

I already came with a different name to use rather than use the Oracle Challenge name.
