 This is a good point for BS election. Makes sense if they skew it one way or the other. OR massive incompetence/corruption here and there 
 Appreciate the nuanced discussion gents!

 Complex subject. Unfortunately we’ll probably never know all the truth. Very interesting. Thanks

 Popular vote vs electoral college is not the same but similar still to popular vote vs first-past-the-post we have 🍁. The more complex you make the system, the easier it is to “skew” the popular vote 🤷🏾‍♂️

 They should cut the shit and just keep it simple. Popular vote. That’s it. That’s the system.  Then watch hoe they start kissing our asses

 If you want a head scratcher, look up after Trump won in 2016, how many times Kamala is on record in rallies and in media saying that "Paper ballots are better because Russia can't hack a piece of paper".

And how she now is all for electronic voting and post ballots. 
 I have a lot of difficulty believing politicians in general. But career politicians are the worst of them. Like weathervanes

 Worse than weathervanes. 
Weathervanes are somewhat useful.

 Succession planning for a new CEO.  Selected by a few,  not the many. 
This election is tough because both candidates are essentially the same as it relates to Israel, Palestine, Iran etc etc. 

The war machine decides fates. That’s why this is still a toss up.
