It’s the same reason, kinda, that Bush was always going to win in 2000. FL’s legislature wasn’t going to send Dem electors to congress no matter the vote when it was that close.
It sometimes bites our side as well. Don’t have to like it, but it could be worse and be a ‘popular’ vote. Which the dems would always win.
Bullshit hypothetical you can’t prove. Bush was elected because he won the vote in Florida. Every forensic analysis done after the fact, including that done by the NYT proved it. Stop spreading your BS.
