    That’s timing that has nothing to do with vote distribution.

      It’s electoral vote math. PA filled the exact amount they needed. None of the actual swing states mattered if PA went red. And I say actual swing states because Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida were only swing states on entertainment outlets cosplaying as news. On the inverse, the Democrats didn’t have a path to victory without Pennsylvania. There just weren’t enough other Electoral College votes available.

        Florida was not a swing state do you even remotely know what you’re talking about?

          It was to some people. That’s kind of my point. The news played around with all these maps but polling never justified doing so. It was always Pennsylvania. For the Democrats and Republicans.

            It was to dumb people who don’t know anything about politics and should not be use in a real discussion about realistic pathways to the White House. That’s my point.

            It belongs in the same discussion as people who called Virginia a swing state aka delusional republicans living in 2004.
