This is happening in all swing states.

A very aggressive misinformation and disinformation campaign by the GOP to win this election.

What are democrats doing?

Complaining isn't going to help win this election.

-What are democrats doing?

Bragging about a 6 point lead as if we use the popular vote to measure a victory.

"Bragging about a 6 point lead as if we use the popular vote to measure a victory."

Except that's a very important hurdle.

Due to the EC advantage to (R)s, Dems need a lead of 5% or more to be confidant they're overcoming inherent disadvantages.

Wouldn't it make more sense to conduct polling and exclude the two states that always make up the difference in the popular vote?

If you exclude New York, and California doesn't the electoral college advantage vanish?

Certainly democrats have conducted private polling that way.

Why did you add 100,000?

@#7 ... If you exclude New York, and California doesn't the electoral college advantage vanish? ...

The Blue states are not the problem with the EC.

The problem with the EC is that states assign all their EC votes, regardless of how close an election may be.

One solution proposed to that is...

... The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) is an agreement among a group of U.S. states and the District of Columbia to award all their electoral votes to whichever presidential ticket wins the overall popular vote in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The compact is designed to ensure that the candidate who receives the most votes nationwide is elected president, and it would come into effect only when it would guarantee that outcome.[2][3][4] ...
