I can believe that Trump won on the backs of “people voting only for Trump and no one else on the ballot”, since Trump was running far ahead of all the other republican candidates. Means once Trump dies of old age, there will be a power vacuum. Remember, democrats have run two women and Biden in the decade span that republicans have only ran Trump.

The ones who didn’t show up elected Trump. Good job, self-righteous dipshits.

They didn’t show up because they spent four years under Trump and four years under Biden, and all they got for the effort of voting in those elections was being significantly poorer, so why forego a day’s pay?

You’re the self-righteous dipshit for not caring about the quality of people you vote for.

Who would have thought giving trillions in Tax refunds to billionaires would result in the rest of the population being worse off?!??? And the nerve of Biden using policy to stop the runaway inflation Trump caused! Don’t worry, those people are all about to find out what real pain is when the cost of things start reflecting trumps proposed tariffs…

Hey this is neat, but can you include lines to relate it to the number of eligible voters?

So I just checked, but couldn’t find any data yet for 2024. The US Census Bureau has data online up to 2022, same for Statista. Judging from the past releases it would take a year or so for the information to be compiled and released. Looks like we’ll have to wait.

Shouldn’t they have changed by the same amount?

No. Why would they? Even if everyone voted (which isn’t even remotely close to being true) populations also change.

Populations change from birth, death, emigration and immigration. I highly doubt more democrats than republicans died/emigrated/abstained. It is much more likely that this skewed data is due to something else

In all the swing states they were less than the difference between the two parties.

Eessentially Democrats last i checked and calculated on Friday lost 4 swing states that would change the outcome by around 250k votes.

The others are saying no one cares or they don’t matter, but they do if that’s where those “missing” votes went

According to Wikipedia data, it’s a decrease of 0.3 percentage points from 1.9% in 2020 to 1.6% of votes that didn’t go democrat or republican.

Though 5% of the votes are still not reported, so that might change still.

Maybe you should search for some old threads and tell the blue conservatives that were foaming at the mouth over 3rd parties existing.

Are they working on solving First-past-the-post voting in there state now that the election is over? We will see.
