300k votes in 3 swing states got Trump the electoral college in 2024, separate from him getting the popular vote.

In 2020 Biden won 3 swing states by 200k votes. Trump won in 2016 by 80k swing state votes - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45570973

It's the swing states that matter, not the popular vote.
