Closing the loop on this one, hclv had asked:

In 2020, Mr.
Biden won 81,284,666 votes nationwide, compared to Trump's 74,224,319. 20 million voters refused to vote? ☮️.

2024
Harris
66,153,333 votes (47.5%).

Trump
71,070,414 votes (51%)"

WHERE did 20 million voters go? Something doesn't seem right?

I had posited that the "20 million" was just an artifact of the unfinished counting in several states, mostly on the west coast. Because of the different ways that states run their elections, some stats just take longer than others.

Now the count is almost complete. The near-final vote total is now up to:

Harris
74,327,659 (48.4%)

Trump
76,838,984 (50.0%)

So it looks like the difference in turnout will end up being about 4 million votes - not 20. A very modest drop from 2020, not something that "doesn't seem right."
