It comes down to a few ten thousands (or less) in critical swing states.

There's a compelling statistical argument to be made that states like Georgia, or maybe perhaps even bigger margin in FL, might have gone another way without laws & regulations to make it harder to vote and cast a ballot by mail.

My point wasn't about "who won", only pointing out the statistics of popularity, considering that an election is basically a popularity contest.

The most unpopular president (and vice-president) got more historical more votes than the last most popular president of the past 50-100 years.
