49.8% to 48.3% of the popular vote. That's a pretty thin advantage, and still barely not an outright majority.

- mcherm 2y agoNearly all the levers of control of the US government to almost no control over the US government: that's a massive advantage. I can't help believing this, not the popular vote, is the motivation.
