Which states in the 2020 election were a coin toss?



Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania and North Carolina were won by either candidate by a margin that was less than 1.5 %.

With the numbers being that close, it is nothing else but luck whether the final result in a state is 50.2-49.8 or 49.6-50.4.

If we swapped <50.000 Biden votes for Trump votes in these states, then it would have been a landslide victory for Trump in the electoral college.

(And if we swapped <1.000 Bush votes for Gore votes in the 2000 election, than Gore would have won, so both sides can benefit from this)

I personally believe this system is flawed, but that's a different topic.

yes, that's the point there. the system is so flawed that a couple of thousands or even just hundreds of votes can make such a big difference, even if one candidate gets literally millions of votes more. sometimes even slight margins in your favour might be overturned by a partisan scotus to outright steal an election, like bush v. gore...

Nope. Did you not read the warrant and findings? The one that was unsealed?

Just in case you missed it. https://www.lawfareblog.com/mar-lago-raid-warrant-unsealed



Groundbreaking. They went in looking for documents, and left with boxes of documents.

Gee, maybe we should get rid of the electoral college and have each person's vote simply count as one.

Bad idea.

It would give the Left even more incentive to import non-white third-worlders into the country.

Wow. The left has gone so far off the deep end, this was actually necessary.


The nuclear code is….. 1, 2, 3, 4, and finally 5.
That is the same combination to my luggage!!
