11. How do you guarantee who can win?

The last three elections have been very close in terms of votes in swing states to win the electoral college. There is no candidate promised to win. On the face a war hero against a black guy with a foreign sounding name shouldn't have been a blowout in favor of the black guy given history. A guy who flamed out in two primaries against an incumbent president again, seems like it should have favored the incumbent. But Biden won.
