Do you realize no one thinks it has legal significance?

But it is a marker that people use as shorthand. There is no getting around the fact that Biden will have 270 electoral votes.

There absolutely is room for Biden not to have 270 electoral votes, if investigations reveal (... correctly or incorrectly) big enough issues that some states don't send electors.

I don't think there's a realistic way for Trump to have 270 electoral votes, but he could still possibly be awarded the Presidency by a weird-ass one-vote-per-state vote in the House.
