(19,233 posts)We know he was going to win it regardless, but this is about the narrative right now. The narrative now is 306-232, not a very close election, and Joe's popular vote lead is 5 million and counting.

(15,417 posts)There's nothing left that hasn't been counted, as far as the EC goes.
We'll probably see the popular vote victory improve a bit, however, over the next few days.

(30,613 posts)Actually, 5+ million popular votes is a VERY strong margin.

(45,591 posts)Biden is the first Dem to win Georgia since Clinton in 92. Lots of Dems and DUers felt Georgia was too red to spend resources on. The map for Dems is expanding South and West with Arizona too.

(45,591 posts)and end voter suppression so every eligible voter can vote. After Obama won NC in 2008, GOP decided to make some dangerous changes to prevent it from happening again. Long lines and fewer polling places in urban areas is a big part of it.
