    i really dont get the political system in the US. When i look at this, Biden seems to be leading good, but everyone seems to think Trump is about to win.

    • In the Electoral College system, each state gets a certain number of electors based on its total number of representatives in Congress.
      ********
    • Each elector casts one electoral vote following the general election; there are a total of 538 electoral votes.
      ********
    • The candidate that gets more than half (270) wins the election.
      ********
    • so Biden has a good advance with 209, right?Bennn
    • right now yes. the confusion is about the electoral college vs popular vote.
      you can lose the popular and still be a president if you got enough electoral votes
      ********
    • i seeBennn
    • No. 209 isn’t good. Texas is 39. Ohio and Michigan and Pennsylvania add up to another 40-50. Trump will probably win.monospaced
    • ah yeah u right about that i was just addressing the current situation and not look into what's left

    • If he gets those big ones it’s over. And it’s looking like he will. This sucks.monospaced
    • So why does everyone tell people to vote if it’s the electoral college fuckery that makes or breaks the presidency? Fucking hell.NBQ00
    • Trump will win with 290Krassy
