They changed the algorithm on Dec 7, 2016.

Best guess, based off the vote count differences of those two days, is that if you see a vote with 100,000 count, it’s likely closer to 20,000 count (divide by roughly 5 or so).
There was a post about it by KeyserSosa on Dec 6, so it’s not some conspiracy or anything.
I figured YSK.
I noticed reddit have constant post-election copium. Like “It’s not over, Fani Willis case is unpardonable” Wtf lol. So silly. Its like those “Umm achtually, trump will be president on March 4.” when Biden won. Ridiculous copium. I feel like reddit algorithm is trying to push for a lib Jan 6 so that trump will have an excuse to invoke insurrection act (not like he wont try regardless, but with a lib Jan 6, there will be no resistance from the military to carry out his orders).
I really want to see what happens if the president-elect strokes out after the EC votes are cast on December 17th, but before they are counted on January 6th. Theoretically, we could have a Harris/Vance, or a Vance/Walz administration.
Nope, new congress is sworn in before electoral votes are counted. Republicans have both house and senate. Even if trump dies, electoral votes are still getting certified. (The costitution doesn’t say you can’t vote for dead people, besides the voting already happened, they are just counting it), and vance as the VP elect is sworn in as president on Jan 20 according to the 25th amendment. There is no ambiguity.
If vance also dies, then Mike Johnson become acting president for the rest of the term.
Even if democrats had one chamber of congress, it doesn’t matter. Both chambers are needed to vote to reject the votes, if either doesn’t reject, the electoral votes are still counted. The Electoral Count Act is now updated to clarify that the VP (and probably the speaker too) has no authority to reject votes, their role is merely ceremonial. The conservative supreme court will definitely make sure to help the candidates on their side.
