Can a gay man or black woman win a state wide race in Wisconsin? Pennsylvania? That’s the real test. What the rest of the country wants doesn’t matter. Pete could win 500 billion votes in California or Texas and it wouldn’t matter with the electoral college. I’ve been told that without it only a handful of states would matter. But with it, we know that only a handful of “swing states” matter. If Biden wins the blue wall of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, he wins. That’s the ball game. If he loses, he’ll need help with winning Arizona and Georgia. But chances are if he loses the blue wall he’s gonna lose Arizona and Georgia too. So all that matters for Biden is to win those blue wall swing states and retain the northwest and upper east coast and he’s got it.
