    Ok, I didn’t look at the states that Harris won, because that would’ve taken longer and complicated things.

    Only looked at states that trump won.

    Interesting fact: if you strategically place 12 million more votes, you can win literally every single state and secure all votes.

    Most fun way to win (imo): 1.5 million in Texas for 40 votes and then another 1.5 million in Florida for another 30.

    Most efficient points/voter states:

    Michigan needed 80k for 15 votes

    Georgia needed 120k for 16

    Pennsylvania needed 145k for 19

    And Nevada needed 52k for 6

    For a grand total of 400k you’d get 56 votes that could’ve taken Harris from 226 to 282 and would’ve secured the win.

    Other close calls:

    North Carolina needed 200k for 16 votes

    Arizona needed 140k for 11

      Yes, and see how you need to play god to do this? Now lets say you only have 10 mil and a republican can do the same thing with another 10 mil? What if you could only move votes around?

      This election was lost from those close call states, true. They could have in hindsight won this by getting 80k people in buses in Michigan and Nevada, but they did not do that.

        Oh, yeah, definitely. I think everyone’s got their share of the blame. The whole thing is fucked.
