President-elect Donald Trump Falsely Claims A ‘Massive Landslide Victory’ : NPR

"We had a massive landslide victory, as you know, in the Electoral College. I guess the final numbers are now at 306," Trump said in an interview on Fox News Sunday.

 A statement from his transition team on Friday, in response to reports of the CIA assessment, said, "The election ended a long time ago in one of the biggest Electoral College victories in history."

Trump also said in his Fox interview, "I think the Democrats are putting it out because they suffered one of the greatest defeats in the history of politics in this country."

Apparently getting 306 electoral votes was a big deal for Biden.

New York State always has one of the nation’s highest rates of domestic outmigration but in normal years that’s made up for by significant international migration – a lot of immigrants from other countries call New York City home first. But there isn’t much international migration these days. Deaths and births maybe virtually equal with the spike of pandemic related deaths.

On the other hand, statistics might not show that much of a decline because the ordinary census is based around April 1, 2020 before the worse of the pandemic, and yearly estimates are based around July 1st, splitting the pandemic deaths over two years.

Trump discussed replacing Electoral College with loyalists: NYT – Business Insider

President Donald Trump has asked top aides about a wild plan that involves replacing electors in swing states with loyalists to secure himself a second term, The New York Times reported on Thursday.

The Times report came hours after Business Insider reported that the plan was gaining currency among Trump allies.

The plan hinges on Republican state legislatures deciding to ignore the states' results and instead send a new group of electors to the Electoral College who would cast their votes for Trump.
