Despite tens of thousands of votes separating Biden and Trump in key states, Biden ahead in the popular vote by nearly 5 million votes, Senate Rules Chairman Roy Blunt said: “The President wasn’t defeated by huge numbers – in fact, he may not have been defeated at all.”

Most of the dem votes have an audit trail. Most of the republican votes don’t. I believe this is why they are freaked out. Poor planning on their part.

Graduated from the University of Missouri. During that time we had excellent Senators: Symington, Eagleton, and Long (an actual Republican). The Governors were kind of iffy: Hearnes and Teasdale--a crook and an idiot. Just before leaving the state, things went downhill.

By Blunt's metric, Trump didn't win by huge numbers and, in fact, may not have won at all in 2016.
