“Polls notwithstanding” what data do you use to justify your statement regarding the outcome of the election in Texas and California?

Because if you look at the polls that’s ridiculous (probability of Biden winning Texas is orders of magnitude larger than Trump winning California).

I didn't say "probability". It's not going to happen. The polls are bullshit.

You said “Biden has as much chance of winning Texas as Trump has of winning California.”

What do you mean when you say “chance”, if not probability?

I mean neither event will happen.
