Maybe, but I doubt he'll win the popular vote (not that that's what matters).
I find it a little disingenuous to say the popular vote doesn't matter. Of course it doesn't matter in terms of winning the election, and that's obviously by far the most important thing. But I think the popular vote undeniably has a certain symbolic value, such that winning it isn't meaningless. Donald Trump obviously thought so (boy, it's really horrific to think that I agree with that man on anything!). Otherwise he wouldn't have falsely claimed to have won it in 2016 if millions of votes he (falsely) said were illegal were discounted.
There was a very important reason. I wanted to add my vote to the national popular vote total.
Biden won by 7 million votes. On paper, that doesn't mean anything. But I truly think that had Biden won by 2-3 million votes like Hillary, the GOP would be far more willing to help Trump steal the election. 2-3 million can come from California alone and can be brushed off by the GOP. Maybe I am paranoid but I agree the popular vote margin is symbolic. Especially with Biden winning a outright majority. The GOP can't claim that third party votes cost them victory
Would there be a difference if Biden won by half the national popular margin, but the same map?
