Nate Silver thinks we’re starting to see the red mirage fade in MI:

PA is on hold. WI + MI means Trump will be escorted out of the White House by the Secret Service come 2021. GA hasn’t moved for hours but favors Biden. NC will probably go red.

Basically Joe has over half of the US approval ATM but it's up to the electoral college to elect him or to not elect him. 

Then whats the point of having americans vote? Just let electoral college vote, I see no logic in it

But thats only counted if the two candidates are at 50/50 right? 

What do you mean? That's how the president is elected. Each state runs its own election and whoever wins the most votes in the state gets all of that state's electors (exception being Nebraska and Maine).

Members of the electoral college aren't permanent. Whichever candidate wins each state, their nominated electors join the EC for that one election cycle

Nate Silver says otherwise. 

I don’t think Brown county (Green Bay) has the WI votes to pull it back to Trump, because we’re counting mail-in ballots at this point, and Milwaukee still has votes to count.

Obviously I'll wait to pop the champagne but I never actually thought Trump would lose. Even with the poll gap.

For questions about the Electoral College, just go to YouTube and literally watch any video. None of us are election experts. :awkney:

it's (mostly) defended by Republican cos they are the one who benefited the most from this system (Bush, and Trump)

America went over 100 years without a candidate winning popular vote but losing the electoral college, and now we'll potentially have it three times within 20 years

No but we'd expect Americans to understand what seems to be a very crucial thing on the elections of their country.
