On Fox News Sunday, Karl Rove said it’s possible that we could have a situation where Mitt Romney wins the popular vote but loses the electoral vote on Election Day.

“We could, though I think it’s a small chance,” he said. “If the margin is as big nationally as it appears in these national polls, then you’ll have the state polls follow.

The architect of George W. Bush’s 2000 and 2004 victories added, “We’re endowing all these polls with a precision they don’t have.”
