5. The popular vote and the Electoral College clash ... again
For the seventh time in the past eight presidential elections, a Democrat will likely win the popular vote.
As of 4:15 a.m. ET, Biden was ahead of Trump 67.1 million to 65.2 million. Biden's total is the second most votes any presidential candidate has ever gotten, behind the 69.5 million Barack Obama got in 2008.
And yet, if Biden loses, it would be the third time in 20 years that a Democrat would have won the popular vote but lost the presidency.
It's unlikely that the process could be changed. Some have argued doing away with it, but it would require a constitutional amendment to change it, and since one side, the Republican Party, has benefitted from it, it's very unlikely to change.
