Ok folks, here is how the election works. In recent election cycles, most states lean heavily Red or Blue. Also during the past three elections, Voldemort has outperformed his polling numbers.
Right now, as has been the case in previous elections there are 7 "swing" states that can go either way. The candidates put the bulk of their economic resources into these states where the presidency is effectively won or lost.
Today, Harris has 226 electoral votes that appear to be learning strongly Blue as opposed to Trump's 219. 93 are up for grabs in these 7 swing states. Below are listed the latest aggregate polling numbers in these 7 states (which are winner-take-all).
If Trump wins the majority (50 to be exact) of these, he'll receive the 270 electoral votes needed to win. If the polls below are accurate, Voldemort hypothetically would be our next President (with Harris winning 25 out of the 93 swing state electoral votes). Oh, you're skeptical? No faith?
I'd like to take a moment to congratulate you if your candidate (he or she) wins. If not, I'll be over with some hot tea and a warm pair of slippers...plus a bottle of Jack Daniels.
