It appears to me that this thread concerns a factual dispute as to whether votes were counted if they did not affect the outcome of the presidential race and how those imaginary uncounted votes would have broken out.
In contrast, I do not read this thread the way you do. I do not see this thread as advocating the elimination of the Electoral College and the use of popular vote to determine presidential elections. My conclusion is that you're reading something into this thread that does not exist.
I’m not saying that anyone on this thread is advocating the elimination of the Electoral College.
I am saying the Left wants to use the popular vote argument to try to eliminate the electoral college.
So I’m saying the issue needs to be spelled out so that people on this thread and elsewhere can skillfully argue against the Left - not on the level of whether Trump did or did not win the populate vote - but that it doesn’t matter who won the popular vote and that the Left cannot have its way here without a Constitutional Amendment. Not enough people are saying this and more should be saying it.
For the reasons given, there’s really no need to argue who won the popular vote - but most here are. For that reason, I question some of you assumptions about what the people on this thread do and don’t know about this issue.
