Joe Biden is on track to win the popular vote by 6 million votes out of nearly 160 million cast in the 2020 presidential election. Amazingly, Save Jerseyans? Biden’s entire lead comes from just 11 of America’s 3,141 counties/boroughs/parishes.
That’s right. 0.3% of America’s counties – and the monster margins they gave to the Democrat ticket – are enough to throw the popular vote to the Democrat candidate. It’s the best argument for the Electoral College’s preservation you could ever hope to find. I don’t want federal policy and, to a large degree, my family’s security and prosperity decided by 11 counties. Do you?
