if trump was the only thing holding back a massive dem sweep down ballot and they thought Dems might actually pack the court, maybe the GOP would try to steal it. but this? this is a flawless victory for them

indigi posted:conservatives are already pivoting away from him, so I'm less worried about court fuckery than I was a week ago I've said it repeatedly that the reason I don't fear a military coup right now is not because I trust the military and police to not do a coup, but because Trump is such an incompetent shithead that they wouldn't do a coup for him specifically and instead will choose to wait for a more competent fascist. I'm coming around to the same argument with regards to court fuckery. With control of the Senate all but assured (even if they get both runoffs (lol) Manchin literally controls whether anything gets through, and if not, they've got a steady hand in McConnell or whoever replaced him when he croaks to keep anything they don't want from happening. It's a best case scenario for the GOP really.

Seeing as the final result is likely 306-232 for Biden, who got the closest to that regardless of the combination of states? Edit: It's these two.

its still possible to end up with blue NC, depends how many late mail ins theyre taking and how those break out. I dont think its likely, but i also didnt think biden would win Pennsylvania, Arizona, or Georgia.

If we go by number of EVs correctly guessed, I don't think there's anyone better than Glumslinger who appears to only have gotten NC wrong. IF NC somehow flips, they'll have gotten it straight up correct.

I would suggest that "most states correct" is the appropriate metric for who wins, with who got the EC votes closest as the tiebreaker for those who tied.

What exactly does it mean that Reagan won 489 electoral votes with 50.7% of the vote in 1980 and Biden got 306 with 50.9% of the vote in 2020??

Cup Runneth Over posted:It means that partisanship has fractured the country along geographical lines The lovely states are slowly turning into rotten boroughs Wikipedia posted:Typically, rotten boroughs had gained their representation in Parliament when they were more flourishing centres, but the borough's boundaries had never been updated, or else they had become depopulated or even deserted over the centuries. Some had once been important places or had played a major role in England's history, but had fallen into insignificance as for example when industry moved away. For example, in the 12th century Old Sarum had been a busy cathedral city, reliant on the wealth expended by its own Sarum Cathedral within its city precincts, but it was abandoned when the present Salisbury Cathedral was built on a new site nearby ("New Sarum"), which immediately attracted merchants and workers who built up a new town around it. Despite this dramatic loss of population, the constituency of Old Sarum retained its right to elect two MPs. And also getting crazier at the same time
