*Trump scurries to nearest map of USA...redraws Kansas border with Sharpie to include Kansas City*
"See that? Always been Kansas. And this is best map...with the best lines. I'll build a wall there to prove it."

Meanwhile, Trump claims the following:
Trump agrees with everything the mother of the creator of this Infographics Show video believes about the Earth.
- Jamaica (the island country) is the sixth borough of New York City (thanks to the fact that Brooklyn and Queens touch Jamaica Bay)
- New Mexico is part of Mexico (since New Mexico voted in favour of the Democrats since the past few presidential elections)
- Twitter (as a whole) is infallible
- Pork consumption lengthens a person's lifespan, even when prepared as bacon
- The Sierra Nevada is only in Nevada (ignoring the fact that the mountain range also extends to California and Spain has a mountain range named Sierra Nevada)
- Buffalo Bill grew up in Buffalo, NY (though in reality, Buffalo Bill was baptized in what is now Mississauga and he had very few connections with Buffalo, NY)

...and redraw state boundaries for the purpose of gerrymandering to his favour.
Trump would have his own GIS consulting firm that agrees with him.

Trump has many challenges, geography apparently among them.
But his disease may be catchy.

Delayed Results Lead to Confusion in Iowa (Published 2020)
Multiple Democratic candidates said they expected to finish strong in the caucuses, though official results appeared to be a ways off.

This American obsession of infusIng untried technology in their electoral system is ludicrous.

Doesn't the incumbent always win by a huge margin?

Their entire system needs a fix.
Keep the College so that smaller states get representation, but change winner takes all to proportional allocation of votes. Enact nation wide standards for voting, including electronic voting. Both are hard to do, because each state runs its own show.

The Electoral College is not necessary to over-represent smaller states in leadership/nomination races, if that is one's desire.
Given that smaller states already have protection via an Equal, if rather ineffective Senate, I'm not sure they need a further layer of protection in the Presidential race.
If one were to start the U.S. system over, there is so much that is wrong, you would just start from scratch.
It would require a Constitutional Amendment.
- A national electoral agency with uniform federal voting requirements and rules nation wide
- A truly national, not state-by-state presidential race, this would vastly reduce the cost of running a nomination race, and reduce the undue influence of money.
- A ban on donations greater than $100 US, and limiting donations solely to American Citizens, (ie precluding businesses, unions etc.)
- A campaign spending limit per voter, not exceeding the OECD average for such.
- A run-off system that ensures the winning Presidential Candidate has a majority of votes
- Making it mandatory to obtain Voter Registration in order to graduate HS or obtain a driver's license (if you are a U.S. Citizen) to help raise participation rates.
- Related, make 100% HS graduation a clear goal, and ensure the right of anyone willing to attend class and try to attend such for free. (many states have an age cut-off)
- Ensuring voters wait no more than 15M in line to vote, ever
- Ensuring voters have confidence in the results - buy Toronto's method w/paper ballots and optical scanners
- Ban party-line ballots (where one checks a box, 'all-republican' or all-democrat')
- Ensure easier access to the ballots for additional parties
- Remove voter registration by party (you're just a voter, not a Dem/Rep)
- Let Parties run their own membership systems, with the rules that money cannot be a barrier to access, and no one may vote in a nomination until they have been a party member for 3 years.
- Remove tax credits for campaign/leadership donations and lobbying
That would be a good start.

On a happier note, it appears the K.C. Chiefs will be honoured in the W.H. in Seattle for winning the S.B.
