THREAD. There's a scam going around that falsely questions whether Biden could win 80M votes (actually 81M), because he lost the majority of counties. This is silly, of course, but just to put an end to it, here are the facts: /1

There are over 3,000 counties in the U.S. The top 50 counties have about 140 million people, almost as many as the remaining 2,950+ counties. These include Los Angeles County, with nearly 11M people, or almost 4% of the U.S. in just that county. /2

Of those 50 counties, know how many Trump won? Two. TWO. #26 Suffolk, NY by .03%, and #45 Collin, TX by 3%. That's it. He lost the other 48 by a lot. He lost Los Angeles County by almost 2 million votes, just in that one county! /3

Trump lost #2 Cook County, IL by 1.2 million votes. The two most populous counties in the U.S. alone make up nearly half of Biden's margin over Trump. That Biden also won 46 of the remaining 48 most populous counties makes you wonder how he didn't win by even more. /4

So let's stop with this silliness, and the scams. All paper ballots, counted and recounted, often by hand, confirm the facts - Biden won by over 7 million votes, in what Trump himself termed an electoral "landslide," and will be sworn in on Jan. 20. /END
