2020 Election: This is Joe Biden's best electoral path
CNN ^ | Oct 18 2020 | Harry Enten

Posted on 10/18/2020 11:10:00 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

A big question heading into this cycle was whether Democrats' best path to winning back the White House ran through the Sunbelt or the Great Lakes (i.e. Rust Belt). While we won't know for certain which pathway was best for them until the votes are actually counted, the current data shows a pretty clear divide.

If former Vice President Joe Biden is to win this election, his best chance probably runs through the Great Lakes...

Hillary Clinton won contests containing 232 electoral votes. Were Biden to hold the Clinton states (and polls indicate that he probably will), he needs to find an extra 38 electoral votes.

Those extra 38 electoral votes are likely to come from the six closest states Trump won in 2016: Arizona (11 electoral votes), Florida (29 electoral votes), Michigan (16 electoral votes), North Carolina (15 electoral votes), Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes) and Wisconsin (10 electoral votes). You can also add in the one electoral vote from Nebraska's Second Congressional District, which Trump won by just 2 points in 2016.

What's interesting about this it that instead of Biden running away in the polls this shows there is no slam dunk on him winning.

There is no path for Biden. He will be stonewalled from above!

They are starting to back-track the big Biden lead.

Expect more of this in the next couple of weeks.

They _know_ from early voting _results_ based on party that Biden is _toast_.

This video walks you through the details that CNN already _knows_:

The only states that I think might flip from 2016 are MI and PA.
Mostly from fraud.

CNN trying to prepare the Dems for defeat, after months of Biden up by double digits.

At the risk of me sounding like Captain Obvious, Biden:

1) won’t win Florida

2) won’t win North Carolina

3) probably won’t win Arizona

So it’s going to be like 2016. Trump will only need one of: MI, PA, WI. In addition, Trump has expanded the map to make battlegrounds of MN, NH, and even NM, and possibly VA, and possibly ME.

If Trump can hold the gains he seems to be making with blacks and Latinos, and regain some allegedly lost ground with suburban women (thanks, Hunter!), the electoral college won’t be close.

Biden has no path to victory. He would have to win every swing state. That is impossible.

I think the Trump win in MI. and PA. will be overwhelming due to the draconian lockdowns in both states!!\

Biden’s truly best path: manufacture at least 100,000 Biden/Democrat ballots in each swing state.

It would be so great if his push to get the Big Ten back playing pushed him over the top.

Massive ballot fraud in key electoral states, authorized by traitorous leftist judges, along with votes by traitorous Demonicrats, is the only way Traitorjoe can win.

How will results be reported on 11/3?

By time zone?
When a given state closes?
When absentees are counted?
When all mail-ins are counted?
Etc

Biden will hide in his Feelerbunker and order his Texas Corps to deliver ultimate victory to him.
