250k Votes

The point I am making is that with the electoral map wins Trump had, he only needed one of those. If you want to say the election was decided by 150k votes in PA, that is fine. If you are saying that this was the lowest vote total in a scenario for Harris to win I get that but I think it gives a false impression that the race was closer than it was. Trump only had to win one of those states.

 

You have a lot more faith in the competence of the Republican party than most Republicans do. I think COVID might have expedited some eventual moves of R leaning voters in D controlled states to R controlled states since they were taking a much different approach that D lead states.

I think there is also a lot of resentment left over from the lock downs and how certain people acted that played a part in this election. If R in Congress were smart, and they are not, they would set up a COVID responsibility task force that takes a look at where all the money went and what was done with it. In cases of fraud, the offenders are referred to the DoJ for a decision of whether to prosecute or not.
