I live in Tennesse. Someone asked me why I bothered to vote for Biden knowing Trump will win my state
There was a very important reason. I wanted to add my vote to the national popular vote total.
Biden won by 7 million votes. On paper, that doesn't mean anything. But I truly think that had Biden won by 2-3 million votes like Hillary, the GOP would be far more willing to help Trump steal the election. 2-3 million can come from California alone and can be brushed off by the GOP. Maybe I am paranoid but I agree the popular vote margin is symbolic. Especially with Biden winning a outright majority. The GOP can't claim that third party votes cost them victory
I think if they had been so inclined, it would have been very easy to make the argument regardless:
Says a lot that you can abolish CA and NY and Trump still only barely wins through his tiny win in NC.
