“Why do they mention the popular vote over and over when that doesn’t even count?”
Because manipulating the Electoral College vote in their favor is a logistical nightmare. Even when they get enough illegitimate voters in all the right locations, those voters could just up and move to somewhere else where the benefits are more generous. They would prefer to pour all their illegal votes into one convenient location. Chicago, say.
I just want to know what defines a landslide election.
We have 538 total electoral votes and Reagan took 525 (97.5%) back in 1984. Is that a landslide or is 99% needed?
