   @mhoye @AnarchoNinaWrites If that happens every red state will immediately pass the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which almost has enough states in it already. I suspect soon after that happens, we'd just get an amendment abolishing the now-defunct electoral college.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites I think it’s a sign that Texas is in play. In the electoral college system, if Texas goes blue and California stays blue, there are no republican presidents for the next forty years.

     Like, this is how divorced from reality this entire discussion is:

     Trump thinks that because he can't win California, the elections are obviously rigged. Or at least he wants YOU to think he thinks that.

     California.

     You know the place the GOP will probably NEVER WIN AGAIN thanks to Reagan? That California?

     Lol, Trump is making shit up about 20,000 non citizen voters in California.

     How fucking unhinged is that? Well okay so like we have literally hired WINGERS, outlets like Reason, to investigate how many noncitizens vote in any given election and the numbers are absurdly low. We're talking about numbers you can count on one hand in most states. TINY fractions of a percent.

     Trump thinks there's 20K of them in California.
