Votemaster's Identity Revealed

Electoral-Vote.com has been a favorite stop for continuously updated electoral vote projections.

And the question we've all been waiting to have answered Who is behind Electoral-vote.com. Wow, it's Andrew Tanebaum, the developer of Minix. I wondered how he could be in the U.S. and update so early every morning. He's not, he's in the Netherlands. Minix helped Linus Torvalds when he was starting out writing GNU/Linux. At the end of his "Votemeister FAQ" Tanenbaum writes, "I am Andrew Tanenbaum and I approved this message."
