Trump & Co. maybe trying to chip away at the Biden/Harris win…
But?
The number of votes counted for winners is going up…
Not down….
President-elect Joe Biden’s margin of victory over President Donald Trump surpassed 6 million votes on Friday, as ballots continue to be counted across the nation.
Trump has refused to accept defeat in the 2020 election, despite Biden’s decisive win in the Electoral College and the popular vote. The former vice president has won nearly 80 million votes, which is more votes than any US presidential candidate in history by a considerable margin. Trump has received nearly 74 million votes.
CNN and other outlets projected Biden won the race nearly two weeks ago, when Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes put Biden above the 270 needed to become president. Biden ultimately is projected to get 306 electoral votes while Trump gets 232, the same amount Trump beat Hillary Clinton by in 2016….
Dave Leip cannot be a defining authority (any more than the F.E.C. or the Clerk of the U.S. House) before the final recanvassed returns are in, but he now shows Biden at 51.0% just shy of Barack Obama’s wins, and currently putting Biden in the top 4 Democratic winners by %, after LBJ, FDR, Jackson & Obama).

BREAKING: Biden/Harris just became the first presidential ticket in history to surpass 80 million votes…
Biden 80,033,996 (51.0%)
Trump 73,878,907 (47.1%)
Prior to 2020, no ticket had ever hit 70 million.
I saw a breakdown of election results for all 90 some odd municipalities of St. Louis County, MO.
There are a few small municipalities that are basically all African Ameeican and they all voted for Biden overwhelmingly giving Trump in the 2-8% range.
So the increase of blacks voting Republican hinted at in some exit polls didn’t happen here at least.
Also Chesterfield, a middle class/upper middle class suburb in West St. Louis County voted for a Democratic Presidential nominee for possibly the first time.
