Probably like 55-45 by percentage. Basically any result that is deep enough that running it a month later couldn't flip it.

Anything closer is going to be controlled by fraud, random chance, and ignorance in the end so I don't really think the guy with 52% winning really matters by any notable metric. The point is EC can't flip any huge wins so while you can flip some close elections in the end it's not like you're going to have a huge amount of the country way happier with one result vs the other-- it's just different sections.

Like if you think 50.5% Gore vs 49.5% Gore really matters in terms of fairness then you're just holding some arbitrary metric sacred while willfully ignoring the metrics actually used.

Also for the record most votes don't actually work how you're describing. Certain vote participants having more or less voting power is extremely common and probably more common in settings that actually matter (ie not you and a few buddies voting what movie to go see or a meaningless Poll of the Day) than each person having one vote.
