538 thread has a very credible prediction that Biden will win the popular vote by 7 million.

In its stead we have this EV bullshit and multiple lawsuits.

1. K&R!

2. Yeah, insane. I saw Biden vote total could top a record 80+ million.

It's disgusting that this race isn't already over.

Slavery has stained this country from inception. Hoping the EV is abolished in my lifetime.

3. Gosh just think how boring all this would be without the electoral college!

8. I know right?

How boring to get to just go to bed, and not walk the floor and check shit constantly.

4. I saw that. 4.3% was the advantage

5. Here's the rundown from Nate Silver:

"What will the final margin in the popular vote be? Here’s an absurdly precise guess: 4.3 percentage points. More specifically, I guess that Biden will receive 81.8 million votes and Trump will get 74.9 million, with 2.9 million going to third-party candidates for a total of 159.6 million. How did I come up with that? I took, from The New York Times’ results pages, Edison Media’s estimates of how many votes were left in each state and then allocated them between the candidates, usually just going by the current vote in each state, with some exceptions (in Indiana, for instance, much of the remaining uncounted vote is in Indianapolis). The biggest places where Biden should gain are California, where I have him netting about an additional 1.4 million votes over Trump, and New York (about 415,000)".

6. That's a nice chunk of change right there.

Nothing to sneeze at. Respect to all the folks who stood in line because of their chances, or despite or them. God bless.

7. Voters should pick leaders, not land.

The EV means the election becomes only about the swing states, not about the people of the country as a whole.
