NBC News: “The answer is … yes, depending on how you measure the votes. And closer looks at this year’s election and past races show why the Electoral College/popular vote divide is increasingly worrying in a nation with a sharply divided political scene.”

“Let’s start with 2020. Looking at the popular vote, Biden actually won by a sizable margin.”

“Biden’s 4.5-point victory margin is the second largest since 2000. Only Barack Obama’s 2008 7-point win was bigger. The same is true of Biden’s margin of 7 million popular votes. Obama won by 10 million in 2008. And of course, the 81 million votes Biden won is by far the most any presidential candidate has ever received.”

“But if you look just at the states that put Biden over the top in the Electoral College, he actually won by fewer votes than Trump.”

President Trump said in a tweet that he will return to Georgia one day before two Senate runoffs in January that will determine control of the upper chamber.

Said Trump: “As badly as we were treated in Georgia by the ‘Republican’ Governor and ‘Republican’ Secretary of State, we must have a massive victory for two great people, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue on January 5th. I will be having a big Rally for them on Monday night, January 4th.”

Politico: “It’s not just his odd behavior—the testy, tiny desk session with the press, the stilted Medal of Freedom ceremony that ended with his awkward exit, the cut-short trip to the Army-Navy football game. It’s even more pointedly his conspicuous and ongoing absences.”

“The narcissistic Trump has spent the last half a century—but especially the last half a decade—making himself and keeping himself the most paid-attention-to person on the planet. But in the month and a half since Election Day, Trump has been seen and heard relatively sparingly and sporadically. No-showing unexpectedly at a Christmas party, sticking to consistently sparse public schedules and speaking mainly through his increasingly manic Twitter feed, he’s been fixated more than anything else on his baseless insistence that he won the election when he did not.”

President Trump said there will be a “wild” protest in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, the day Congress is set to count electoral votes and affirm his loss to President-elect Joe Biden.

Twitter has updated the labels it applies to election misinformation and now specifically names Joe Biden as president-elect rather than saying the claims are merely “disputed.”

Rudy Giuliani pressed the Department of Homeland Security to seize possession of voting machines as part of a push to overturn the results of the election, the New York Times reports.

Giuliani was told the department does not have the authority to do such a thing.

The Wall Street Journal reports deploying the military was also discussed at a White House meeting but nixed.

“President Trump’s campaign legal team sent a memo to dozens of staffers Saturday instructing them to preserve all documents related to Dominion Voting Systems and Sidney Powell in anticipation of potential litigation by the company against the pro-Trump attorney,” CNN reports.
