It's astonishes me that if only ~45,000 voters in Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia had voted differently, the Electoral College would have been tied, and it would have been thrown into the House of Representatives for the first time since 1824 (or 1876 if you count the chicanery surrounding Hayes' victory). And Biden has built a popular vote lead of over seven million votes, much larger than the two million vote lead of Hillary Clinton in 2016. The Biden campaign was correct in approaching this as a tight election and not taking things for granted.
Yes, exactly. Which is why Biden/Harris was an A+ campaign. They did the work they needed to in the vital rust belt and didn’t get too dug in all over the muh trendz mapz although GA was nice! Can you even imagine how much more physical/mental/economic destruction we’d see if this was sent to the House?!
Somehow, someway we HAVE to at least try to reform the Electoral College system goddammit. This is not a good way to do things in this country. Demagoguery both foreign and domestic WILL take advantage of this built-in flaw in our constitution.
I was hearing a few days before the election that Iowa was still competitive because Biden went to Iowa.
