I don’t get this- how can you be so sure given the electoral college system ?

 If the current status-quo remains where Biden gets NV, MI; and Trump gets PA, NC, GA —-> then electoral votes are 270 Biden - 268 Trump. 

Which means Biden would win only if all his electors vote for him || that equal or more electors of Trump vote for him than his electors voting for others. 

There were multiple faithless electors in 2016. What guarantees that there will not be a Biden elector going rogue ? 

At that point Hillary having faithless electors didnt matter, also, the winning party chooses the electors for their state. Also, faithless electors have never changed the outcome of an election. You're right it could happen, but with penalties and state laws dictating faithful electors its extremely unlikely that it would change the outcome.

They lowkey jumped the gun on Wisconsin too... but that ended up confirmed by The Association Press within an hour or two if I recall. Could very well be true

Confirmed: https://www.cnn.com Headline: “Biden Wins Michigan”

Trump needs to pull a miracle and get AZ (NV is off the table: It’s close, but the remaining votes are blue), PA, and GA to win this.

PA I would say leans Biden; GA is a toss up. AZ strongly leans Biden to the point it’s been called by AP and Politico.

Yeah, but does regional representation matter that much here? In Congress, of course - that’s why the senate exists. But in a presidential election it just breaks the equality among voters. At least that’s how I see it.

No. A president can win the electorate without winning the popular vote (fully watch the video I tagged you).

Someone can also, apparently, win the presidency without either. 

Spoiler

Watch all of this

 

 

I want to remind everyone that the past four years have been completely unprecedented in every way. We have never experienced an administration and president, that has disregarded so many norms. We never had to deal with a President and an administration officials that weren't deterred, in ANY way, by the normal guardrails of integrity, shame, common decency, respect, dignity, a moral compass and so much more

It's time to discuss what a coup in America looks like

Its not official because Trump is asking for a recount in Wisconsin. And Nevada and Arizona still need to be officially called but its very very unlikely Trump will win

GA leans Trump I'd say, but yeah it's looking more and more likely that Biden is winning and somehow I can't manage to internalize it. I just think that Trump will somehow be president whatever the election result is :rip:

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.

but the NYT article said that for Trump to flip AZ he need more then a third of the votes expected... idk its very unlikely i think (and hope).) :poot:
