Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by almost 3 million and still lost.

If Kamala wins the popular vote, how much does she have to win by to flip

the electoral college to her side?

Does it matter what states she wins in if the margins are low?

    This is the biggest issue and wool over the eyes of American voters. We only focus on presidential elections even though the President holds very little power to affect change (not saying the president of the United States is not a powerful individual, and of course that presupposes a Supreme Court that determines rulings based on law and not political ideology but that’s beyond my point).

    You know who actually holds literal power at the federal level? Our state reps and senators.

    You know who actually holds literal power at the state level? Our local reps and state senators.

    And yet no one pays attention to local politics.

    It IS the fault of the current media landscape and educational system that this is the case.

    But we (US citizens) could maybe take 5 minutes to actually pay attention to local elections instead of just yelling about “Me President!” for 1 week evey 4 years.
