41. The "mandate" is as phony as he is.
His "people" knew he "needed" one, so they built in enough votes all around in the "safe" states so that either way, he would be perceived as "legitimate". I think some were afraid that he would actually lose the electoral, but with 3M popular votes, they could have safely taken it to the supremes again, or done their own Ukranian style voter revolt to get him reinstalled.

The kamikaze last minute romps through CA, NJ.PA and NY in the few days before the election provided the "cover" for the extra vapor-votes they planned to provide.

The "safe" states of Texas & Florida made up the difference so that the extra in some small states would not look suspicious.

110K vapor votes x 31 tates "won = 3.41 million vote "mandate".
