If we don't listen to public health warnings, we could end up trying to strangle each other across the turkey table. But refusing to recognize the results of a not particularly close democratic election is well beyond politics as usual in America. So, as a cheat sheet to counter deeply held disinformation, here are some baseline facts that could come in handy:Joe Biden won the election with more than 80 million votes -- the most ever. His 306 electoral vote total is the same number that Donald Trump declared a "landslide" four years ago, when he lost the popular vote by a then-unprecedented nearly 2.9 million votes. This time, he lost the popular vote by more than 6 million.
