They know exactly why the race is allegedly tied, as they have been complicit in making it a 'horse race'. nt.

A lot of us have been asking questions about how it can possibly be tied.
You really think that's a stupid question?
It's an excellent question, because anything even remotely close to a tie shouldn't even be possible.
Yet, 2016 and 2020 proved otherwise, and here we are again.

Also was stupid to present it as a fact when it's about to be tested. I don't think 2020 was remotely close to a tie 4.5% is not a tie.
