no one can be declared elected * * *, unless he * * * receives a majority or a plurality of the legal votes cast in the election. Need to be very careful with this as the left is going to argue that Biden won the popular vote and thus should win the election. This could be a slippery slope to removing the Electoral College.

Biden only won the popular ILLEGAL VOTES. Same as Hillary.

POTUS is elected by the states, not by citizens’ popular vote.
Electoral college is the first method. We are now looking at the second method.

No. States elect presidents, not individual citizens -- the only "legal votes" defined in the Constitution are the electoral votes of each state.
