For the most part, Michigan's going to go that way and Wisconsin's going to go that way.
And the same is true with Georgia and North Carolina.
They're going to go in unison.
Arizona and Nevada are going to go in unison.
And then they're all connected.
So like if everyone's a little wrong in one direction, they're most likely going to be all wrong in one direction.
And that's what happened.
I think we kind of confused what coin flip meant seven times versus the fact that it's an election.
And we just want โ we want to be โ why are people who lost the election disappointed when they were told it was close?
