Voters there are the definition of brain dead. I grew up there and escaped around 10 years ago and now I watch the insanity from afar. They elect the most corrupt idiots going, then complain about the job they are doing, then they reelect them. NYC I would say is probably the most corrupt city in the country right now, more so than Chicago.
Probably true, but just like California there is considerable doubt about the relationship between ballots cast and “votes” counted.
Trump has little chance to win the popular vote in November, because the Democrat overvote in those two states is going to be gigantic. He could win a massive electoral landslide and still lose the popular vote, which will amplify Democrat calls for its abolition and allow them to continue to call Trump an illegitimate President. Some kind of Federal oversight of these corrupt state election offices eventually needs to happen.
