Mike Madigan in this video is casting 196 votes to nominate Obama--out of 215. As Sun-Times columnist Mark Brown wrote in the Politics blog, "a Madigan spokesman explained that under Democratic National Committee rules each state must submit a signed tally sheet with the names of each of its electors. Illinois did not receive its tally sheet until 5 p.m. Tuesday and had to return it by noon Wednesday. Hence, nineteen people never got around to signing."
