    This is some real woosh material right here. The point I’m trying to make seems to be sailing right over your head while you gripe about technicalities.

    Those people effectively did not have their votes counted. They effectively voted for Biden in the end because their electoral votes that represent them voted against them.

      I’m not arguing about technicalities, everyone’s vote counts, except in the minds of election conspiracy theorists.

      Your points are not about making everyone’s vote equal they are about making the outcomes more granular.
