Iโm really disappointed that none of the articles Iโve seen have included any estimates for how many people turned out and where.
Article in Utah claims only 6k attendees. Look at that picture and tell me if you think thatโs true.
Honestly, yea. 100% coverage is being fucked with to make things seem worse than they are but I doubt there are even 3,000 people in that photo. May well have been over 6,000 people there and I sure hope there was but the photo is not a gotcha.
Grab group of ten people, further away so theyโre more dense, then count out ten of those are you mentally paste it around the photo. That will be 100 people. Then take that and do the same thing ten more times and youโll get 1,000.
Everywhere else for sure was crushing it, and honestly I feel like even 6,000 is a pretty great turnout for Utah, no?
I get the theory of the counting, I guess Iโm biasing because I understand the shape of that field. The picture is probably 5/8 the field that was packed.
Along with the elevation. Itโs really hard to picture except from direct above, as the field drops out significantly. I couldnโt even see the speaker from my vantage.
Even if it did, how did they count everyone? Are there some drone software capable of counting people in an area or in a picture?
