Wow it was closer than we thought
From wapo
here are the margins by which Biden won three critical states, as of Wednesday morning:
Arizona: 10,457
Georgia: 14,028
Wisconsin: 20,565
Total: 45,050
But if Trump had managed to get those 45,000 votes, he would have won 37 more electoral votes, making the electoral college a 269-to-269 tie. Under the Constitution, the election would have then been decided by the House of Representatives, with each state delegation getting just one vote. Even though Democrats have a majority in the House, more state delegations have Republican majorities. Trump would have been reelected.
Ok...here are the latest numbers on these three states and this argument that it was closer than we thought
Arizona: 10,457
Georgia: 12,670 (went down after recount)
Wisconsin: 20,565
Total: 43,692
if it had been 269-269 it would have been Trump...no questions asked
I'm still a little shocked this isn't a bigger story
Yes, of course, Biden got almost 6~ Million more votes, but that has nothing to do with the
rulesMaybe it was just me, but on the daily Libs were like "trump won by only getting 77K votes in key states" saying how bogus his election was. Seems like the same argument will be used by the MAGA crowd. Thankfully they don't seem to grasp math that well, so maybe they will just keep saying 'stop the steal'
