How many points do you need?
Out of how many?

I thought it was electoral votes, not points?

Once you reach 100 points, Chief Justice Roberts comes out in a bikini and awards you the presidential sash and bouquet

I was curious too so I looked it up for ya

It's to avoid ambiguity between "percent" and "percentage points". If one person is polling at 10% and another at 15%, then the second person is polling 5 percentage points higher, but is polling 50 percent higher.

So apparently they're percentage points in the popular vote?

so the popular vote is currently predicted to be Donnie 44% (+12) = Joe 56%

idk why they bother doing anything with the meaningless popular vote though, since the election is decided by a rigged system of meaningless borders and faithless representatives
