2000 jim sent me this. Here is the beginning of wisdom on the electoral jam. That means that somebody loses.
Margins of victory can be interesting, suggestive, worth probing for a number of reasons.
But they have nothing to do with the question of winning and losing. That kind of thing happens all the time in sports. We are not engaged in a national plebiscite on the Electoral College system. Both of the candidates have sworn to uphold the Constitution, and it decrees how new presidents are to be selected. Those who wish to amend the Constitution are entirely free to do so.
