minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 hours ago We’re looking at a possibility that Trump would not only win the EC, but the overall popular vote, as well. You claimed that Trump might win the popular vote, and that’s very, very unlikely (but not impossible). That’s the only part I was referring to.
