I keep getting blocked by some deniers.
So here is the data.
Pic 1: Table of last 10 elections before 2024. For each election I record the percentage of swing states won by the winner vs his lead in the popular vote.
Pic 2: scatter plot of this data with trend line.
Trump 2024 is a clear outlier.

RFK Jr. is confusing with the actual 1977 flu lab leak in Russia/China.
This was "the same" H1N1 flu virus strain responsible for the 1918 pandemic.
