5. And to think how close Trump came -- 42,844 votes short of a tie; 64,935 votes short of a win

State (Electoral Votes) Biden's victory margin
Arizona (11) 10,457
Georgia (16) 11,779
Wisconsin (10) 20,608
Nebraska-CD2 (1) 22,091
Nevada (6) 33,596

If he had won 42,844 more votes across 3 states, AZ, GA, WI, he would have tied in the electoral college.

If he had additionally won Nebraska CD2 (or Nevada), he'd have won it.

Just shows how despite a huge 7.06 million popular vote win, and running against an obviously evil madman, the Democrat won the heavily gerrymandered electoral college by a margin of well under a combined 100,000 total votes in a few swing states. This in an election where more than 155 million voted for either Biden or Trump.

Imagine what would have been the outcome if there had been no pandemic.
