Returning to the actual question posed in this thread, 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 this was due in large part to the large number of votes that remained to be counted. Five days later, and the popular vote totals (per wikipedia) now stand at:
2024
Harris
71,239,698 (48.0%)
Trump
74,834,220 (50.4%)
So about 9 million votes added to the total, with still another 5% of the vote left to count. There's still a decline in overall turnout compared to the last election. It looks like turnout will be down compared to 2020 - but only modestly.
