How many of those were in the 5-6 states where their vote actually matters? Cuz I'm in a state thats been hard blue since like, Reagan.

We don't have a true popular vote. If we did we'd never have a Republican president again.

    I live in Utah. The difference in numbers in Utah is crazy. If everyone registered as other than Republican voted for Biden and just registered Republicans voted for Trump, Trump would still win by around 10%. Registered Democrats are outnumbered 2:1 by unaffiliated and 4:1 by Republicans.

    In fact, "Unaffiliated" is the second largest group of active voters in Utah.

    Yeah, you have a theocracy telling everyone how to vote. You think the populace will go against that when it means a fiery damnation for eternity?

    Exactly. Mormonism is just as much a threat to the US (and any country they're in) as the Evangelicals and fascists.

    Or maybe, ANY Religion or "Registered Religious Practice" Organization will only get tax exemption status if they refrain from political activities like funding or sponsoring or advocating or supporting any said political group(s).

    If any Scientology, Roman Catholic, Evangelical Organization, others are found to be supporting or funding or organizing for political parties including PAC donations or bribery lobbying efforts, they will immediately receive a 100% tax status at 100% tax with 100 year prison for every participating Religious person/member/leader who did the deed.
