Here's a fact: Regardless of who wins the electoral college, Biden is going to receive at least 5 to 6 million more votes than Trump. This isn't a biased prediction, it's based on national polling which has proven itself to be accurate to within a couple points. This makes sense, given the law of large numbers. Biden is currently up +10, though this will drop before election day. Hillary ended up winning with 48.2% vs 46.1% - +2.1 points equaling 2.8 million votes more than Trump. Biden will most likely double that number, and yet still easily lose the election. The system we have is amazingly broken.

Ask your state legislature to adopt a new system! https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/ https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/ Especially if you live in Michigan, Arizona, Virginia, or North Carolina.

Do you (does anyone?) have a projection for what the popular vote would be if we had a popular election? You'd need to make a lot of assumptions about voter behavior, of course, but it would be a lot more interesting than adding the votes as cast in the various state elections.
