That would massively encourage Jere's Benford’s Law conspiracy confirmation bias on these elections... Which reminds me..

If Biden wins them all.. Can it be called: A landslide?


Biden would have needed more than 330 for it to really be a landslide.

Congratulations.

One statistical test does not a supported conclusion make.

Biden will end up having won the tipping point state by less than 1% and barely crack 300 EC votes, so it can't really be considered a landslide. He will end up winning the popular vote by around 5% though, so there's that. But then again, his party underperformed in pretty much every single Congressional race. They lost all the tossup Senate and House races, and will most likely have to put up with a McConnell-controlled Senate from day 1.

In a weird way, those handful of ticket splitters in the key states who voted for Biden and downballot Republicans represent the median voter in America in 2020, and their verdict is quite clear: "Trump had to go, but we do not want to trust Democrats with unified control over the federal government".

That's very fair. Democrats need to earn the trust of voters.

They didn't vote Biden and the republicans. The ballots just voted Biden.
