...And we’re not allowed to question his “victory”

It’s almost as if the majority of the population lives in cities, rather than evenly spread out across every county and those people in those cities tend to lean towards that side.
Republicans had 60 court cases to question Biden's victory, and they came up with bupkus.
After a while, endless questioning starts to sound like the whining of spoiled children and is duly ignored.
You forgot to account for the populaton by country: an urban county might have more population than a rural county, meaning that the Democratic candidate might have won urban voters while the Republican one might have won rural voters.
The only time when geographical units matters is about States in the Electoral College.
And in 2020 Trump and Biden's votes together was just 66 percent of the legal voting population. So even with record voting thirty three percent of Adult American citizens choose not to vote.
So to answer your question. There is nothing shady about it, more to citizens choose to vote. That is all.
Also not all counties have the same number of people. Rural counties tend to have a far lower population than urban counties and so yes Biden could easily win less counties be get a higher number of votes.
I think Charlie needs some remedial education on how presidential elections in the USA work. Hint: the popular vote doesn’t really matter (thanks to that outdated travesty called the Electoral College), and the number of counties won matters absolutely NOT AT ALL. Really, the only use of that statistic is so we can look at it and say “oh, these people here voted for this guy, and these people over here voted for the other guy, well how about that.”
Needs a #PRATT tag.
You’re allowed to
You know how corrosive “just asking questions” is which is why you persist. Especially, since it gives all the permission you all need to impose your Hungarian style election rigging on the rest of us. And I can guarantee once that happens you will make sure that nobody will dare question that.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
