I Have a feeling Biden is Still headed to an 8-9 Million Popular Vote Win

haven't checked west coast states yet but based upon 2016 those huge majorities on the West Coast are going to grow for weeks plus you've got a lot of late ballots in other states still rolling in

Anybody heard an estimate

If Biden wins the popular vote by 6 points and loses the EC, then America is a de-facto apartheid nation.
