'national popular vote total'

The phrase 'national popular vote total' should be put in quotes as shown since it is an imaginary ethereal concept. there is no such thing as a national popular vote total; there are in reality 51 separate and independent state/district vote-based contests. to add all 51 contest vote totals together may be some kind of academic exercise, but it has no relation to the election outcome.Ronster76 (talk) 03:47, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The square root of -1 is imaginary. The votes of all Americans isn't EvergreenFir (talk) 04:08, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the US MLB World Series in 2017 ended in a tie. after 7 games both teams had scored 34 runs. neither team won the series. that's your imaginary score 'total'. Ronster76 (talk) 04:30, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maps need to be updated

That's a map of historic actions, not present status. IdiotSavant (talk) 04:05, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Missouri, for example, has house approval and was not vetoed, yet it is not on the map Sigmatoiletfortniterizz (talk) 17:15, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a previous legislative session. The map is for states which have passed the law, and bills active currently. Historical information is in the table of "Bills receiving floor votes in previous sessions". Note that bills which were merely heard by a committee are not recorded in that table (because its just not notable enough). IdiotSavant (talk) 22:26, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
