(2,175 posts)Out of ~63 million votes cast, it was about 80 thousand across 3 states that gave him the electoral vote advantage. Were it not for a long outdated system, created to appease slave holding states, and the election decided by any means less heavily weighted towards voters from rural areas, then he would have lost, and lost decisively. I know it's the system we've got (for now), but I think the narrative that is "was the whole damn country" simply isn't correct, and ignores the millions more that chose otherwise.

(115,674 posts)His district, Georgia's 5th, is one of the most consistently Democratic districts in the US, probably even more than mine (MN CD-5). It's been represented by a Democrat for all but 11 years since 1845. I just don't see a GOPer taking that seat.
