LOL. Propoganda, right out of "1984".
More like 1980. Carter and Reagan locked in tight race. Actual results
Reagan 50.75% vs Carter 41.01% of the vote. That translated to a 489 to 49 blowout in the EC.
Every race, pretty much, with a few exceptions, is now 50/50 or pretty close to it. Many times decided by dozens of votes. It can’t be.
