It ain't over til the fat lady sings
The mail-in voters, the covid voters, the absentee voters, all the voters who voted in this election by mail before Election Day. Above a historical trend. Every Election Day there's some percent of votes that were mailed in for any number of reasons. Tuesday the in person voters through our electoral system reelected President Donald Trump for a second term. He'll be a lame-duck president for four years, and even given those two campaigns and his bombast, we in person as a body shrugged our shoulders and said he's a better bet than Biden. Biden wasn't as offensive, but he didn't show us enough to go with him. President Trump is a slightly better bet than Joe Biden for the next four years.
The mailed in ballots, above the historical trend, clearly due to the covid mail-in voting decision, made some months ago, before we knew whether we'd have a real in-person Election Day, are overwhelmingly Biden and Democrat. Like 4-to-1 against President Trump. 80% for Biden.
There is a voting bloc with that kind of record, they're called cities (many but not all of them) and suburbs combined (suburbs only existing because of their cities, so suburbs are in one sense just their city's outskirts). In some cities it's 95-to-5 Democrat, so the mail-in votes are not just cities, but when you mix in a little suburban vote, which is closer to 50-50, with the 90-to-10 Democrat vote of the cities, you get a 80-20 split.
Exurbs and rural territory does depend upon our electoral system to protect us against the tyranny of the majority, because we're never going to outnumber cities in population. When suburbs turn to exurbs and then to rural areas, the political party turns Republican. Our electoral system, which we operate on Election Day, was defeated by the decision to ease the rules for basically absentee voting. People who get fast food, go grocery shopping, go to the pharmacy and post office, meet with friends, absentee-voted instead of participate on Election Day.
And on the map, we exurban and rural American occupy and take care of 85% of this country, you city-dwellers and suburbanites only take care of 15% of this country, but without a functioning electoral system, you would wipe us out in national elections, without the Senate, we would have no voice, and this election, our electoral system was defeated because so many city dwellers and suburbanites were able to literally "mail it in", defeating the system meant to balance the power between cities and everybody else.
President Trump is our president. And I believe we reelected him on Tuesday, through our electoral system, but that that system was defeated, and that is wrong and I want the courts to examine the matter fully to make sure it was a free and fair election. You can't just suddenly disable the electoral system. It protects us from the tyranny of the majority city-dwelling people who are only responsible for 15% of our country.
