We may have understood it the same way, yet just to be sure : The turnout is counted normally, except for states where less than 97% of the votes are counted, in which case the reported turnout has been replaced by the expected turnout.
You're right, if they didn't voted for third parties, if the votes are mostly counted, if the voter turnout is the same, and if republicans didn't received more votes than in 2020, then where did these 14M votes went ?
Thanks for confirming that i'm missing something, don't know if you or someone here have the explanation.
Well, they haven't counted all the votes yet, but it seems that 158.000.000 total votes were cast according to an analyst from UFL, who gets info from the bureau of elections or whatever. If Trump has 73M and Kamala has 68M votes, some 2.4M have voted third party. I guess that means there are still some 14.5 million votes to be counted.
Which seems like a lot, doesn't it? I don't know what's going on, perhaps we're making some error somewhere.
14 million write-ins for our boy Xi.
And if they don't have the same source, it confirms the WaPo's 65% with its 64.52%(, in the VEP_TURNOUT_RATE column)
Yeah, you're right, it's too obvious, anyone can do 72.6M+68M+2.2M and easily see that it's only ~143M out of 158.5, so we're indeed making an obvious mistake somewhere. They're probably simply not counted yet, as you said(, California is slow here).
While it is probably just that they werent counted yet can we atleast entertain the funniest outcome which is that after 4 years of yelling about how the election was stolen from him Trump actually stole the election, and hacked the voting machines or something? And a lot of the missing votes were fake? I just think it would be so funny I'd love to see how liberals reacted to that once its revealed. Like theyd probably just go "well shucks guess next time we wont let that happen".
"RESUME THE COUNT!" - blue MAGA probably
If they were votes for third parties, then they would have shown up by now.
