    85% of all counties in America

    Empty land doesn’t vote, you moron. You can be 2000 counties up and only win by a couple million votes, because rural counties are… rural.

      According to the US election system empty land absolutely does vote. That is largely how you got into this whole mess in the first place.

      According to the popular vote, yes. But the popular vote hasn’t mattered for many, many years. Of the many things Trump has shone a spotlight on, this has been the most blatant.

      e: It only sways the results if enough members of the EC are more afraid of the populace than the party leadership.

        The fact that compromised states like Texas and Florida are pending makes me think this will be a mechanism for right wing fuckery.

        Oops, turns out that all of these states controlled by the GOP voted 100% republican with no oversight from the feds. Hand over your EC votes please 🫴
