A change of 0.0004% of the votes cast would have meant a second Donald Trump term

  

     A change of 100,000 votes out of over 145,000,000 votes total in 4 states would mean a second term for Donald Trump.  The Electoral College once again almost gave us another travesty of democracy by the way it determines the winner in presidential contests.  Biden winning by 5 or 6 million doesn't mean anything with this crazy system.  The only crazier system is the US Senate that gives the 2 million residents of Wyoming, North, and South Dakota three times the representation in the Senate than the 40 million residents of California.  The fear of small states being controlled by big states seems to be more important than the standard of one person one vote.  What about the injustice of small states controlling large states?
