   9 grumpy critiques of US election coverage:

   With apologies to those, especially outside the US, who are sick of US election coverage. Aren’t we all. It will get worse before it gets better.

   1) These 7 states will decide the results. No. Every state counts. If you take out any state, you change the calculation.

     3) This election is really close, or Harris or Trump is leading in this state or that state. No. We haven’t started counting the votes, and most voters haven’t voted yet. Right now, the polls are close, not the election.

     2) The American people chose Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020. No. A frighteningly large number of US citizens don’t even vote. Most US voters chose Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020. Who gets the most votes won’t determine who wins in 2024. It should, but it won’t.
