lmao this time trump wins the popular vote but biden gets in on EC
that's what I've been guessing might happen for a while. It would be hilarious. It would be the first time that would happen in a Democrat's favor (except if you count 1824, but I don't).
Would be hilarious to see just because the chuds and libs would do a switcheroo on their EC stance.
and nothing would fundamentally change
If there was a legitimate third conservative party you'd get ranked choice voting pretty quick
Yeah that tectonic plate of a contradiction might fucking do it
This is the actual funniest option but would require an almost complete 180 on who virtually every state votes for.
Getting 6 electoral voters because you got a combined 12 votes in the Dakotas, Wyoming and Montana is why republicans always do better in EC than popular votes.
Or in an epically morbid rhyme, we let the Supreme Court decide again.
