Not sure how true, Redditor said:


"Latest PA dump:

Trump: +4390

Biden: +22127"

Biden is leading mail in votes 6:1, this is in line with that.

How much of the vote is left to count? This may give us a good idea of our chances in PA

About 1.05M at this point. Biden is expected to win unless the vote share starts rapidly changing which is very very unlikely. It's why Trump is desperately trying to get the courts to stop voting, he will lose his lead this evening and Biden will rapidly expand his margin more than likely, if not, then tomorrow.

Its purpose was to give more representation to slave states. That’s it. 

This theory about it being about protecting smaller states is a modern twist we were all brainwashed with as kids. 

Abolish the Electoral College.

Slave states were the smaller states.  I don’t particularly like the electoral college either but from the point of view of the “flyover” states it does give them a better shot at representation.

Imagine being so pressed about losing you literally think stopping the vote counting is going to help when youre already massively behind and the votes are 99% counted at this point.

The system is setup to ensure less populated states can’t just be overrun by more populated states. From that standpoint it works, as we saw last election with Trump winning.  The individual states decide how to allocate electors. In theory the electoral college is supposed to allow overruling the electorate electing a fascist demogogue but obviously that didn’t work 

This is actually not true, it was setup because average voters did not know almost anything about the candidates for the presidency. They were essentially representatives to their states. It was also meant to change, but hasn't changed in a long time.

It's all coming together now. Obstructing mail at work, demonizing mail in ballots, not having mail in ballots counted earlier in Rep-led states, heaving ACB into the Surpreme Court, doubting the counting, demanding voting / counting stops and recounts. Looks like some obvious ****ery to me.

Friendly reminder that Biden only needs to keep the lead in Michigan, Arizona and Nevada.

The final counts from each state include heavily blue areas and are (I believe) solely mail-in ballots.

This is what I'm confused? I thought AZ had officially chosen Biden?

AZ has been called for Biden but there are still 350k votes remaining, Biden is expected to hold the state still when the results are announced in a few hours but Trump does have a more than comfortable chance of taking it.
