I suspect Joe’s crew didn’t want to support Kamala so they kept the 13million votes off the books. 

Also, if 13 million democrats wouldn’t vote for Kamala Harris, then who are the real racist and sexist voters?  They would vote for an old white guy (Joe Biden) but not a middle aged black women?  Trump voters wouldn’t vote for either because they don’t like their policies, their ethnicity or gender didn’t come into the equation for Republicans.

The argument that the racist votes went to Trump instead of Harris is... an interesting one.  

I am saying it shows the missing democrat votes are racist and sexist because they wouldn’t support Kamala, but they supported Joe in 2020.

Yes, because you are assuming, without any evidence, that none of the people who voted for Biden in 2020 switched their votes to Trump in 2024.  The exit polls all suggest this is simply incorrect.

Query me this:

In 2020 Trump received 74.2 million votes, Biden allegedly received 81.3 million.

In 2024 Trump currently has 72.1 million and Harris currently has 67.3 million.

What happened to those 14 million "voters" for the Democrats?  And better yet, where are the shortfalls?  Swing states perhaps?

Would LOVE to know the answers

South Buffalo, New York

***UPDATE***

2024:  Trump 74.3 million-Exceeds 2016 and 2020 total
            
           Harris 69.8 million-Still looking for 11.5 million "voters" for the Democrats

You're silly if you're raising the spectre of fraud in 2020 at this point.  Maybe it was just a mistype on your part.

What exactly is the theory of the case here - that Biden/Democrats somehow rigged the 2020 election, but couldn’t figure out how to do it again in 2024?

maybe they put the cart before the horse and let Puerto Rico vote..

The delta between the two elections is just shy of 13 million votes; or simple,r another state or two worth of votes....

I mean, shouldn't everyone want to know where 13 million voters went?

The fact that 100% of the vote hasn't been reported yet and a lower turnout is a far simpler explanation than some massive conspiracy.

Good Lord.  Some of you shouldn't be allowed to operate power tools.  

4% in Nevada and 23% in Arizona doesn't justify the 13 million number.

I hate that I have to waste energy doing math for you, but here we are.

The current total is 142.5 million.  This is with 94% reporting.  So at 100% reporting, we should expect a total number of votes of close to 151.6 Million.

The total in 2024 was close to 155.5 Million.  So basically a 2.5% lower turnout explains the difference.

Where did that 2.5% come from, you're surely scratching your head over right now?  Gee, I don't know - a lack of enthusiasm perhaps?  Or maybe we lost a lot of voting age citizens to something like a global pandemic over the past four years.  Or some combination of the two, plus lots of other things like shifting voting demographics.  Any number of things are vastly simpler than some kind of massive voting conspiracy.  

Let us wait a month for final numbers to come across..your numbers may track..

Yes, I think it would be smart to wait until all the numbers are in before putting our tinfoil hats on and jumping to conclusions.

One should limit the wearing of foil hats...

Ozzie was not your average resident of Pinewood. While most of the townsfolk wore baseball caps or sun hats, Ozzie was known for his distinctive headgear: a meticulously crafted foil hat. Gleaming in the sunlight, it was a curious sight that often sparked conversations, amused glances, and a touch of mystery.

One crisp spring morning, as Ozzie ambled down Main Street, the sunlight reflecting off his foil hat like a beacon, he noticed something unusual. The usually bustling street was eerily quiet, and the townsfolk gathered in hushed clusters. Intrigued, Ozzie approached Mrs. Thompson, who owned the bakery.

"Morning, Mrs. Thompson. What's all the fuss about?" he asked, tipping his foil hat in greeting.

Mrs. Thompson glanced around nervously before leaning in. "Ozzie, something strange is happening in Pinewood. People are losing their pets, and no one knows why."

Ozzie frowned, his curiosity piqued. "Sounds like there's a mystery to solve. Mind if I take a look around?"

Mrs. Thompson nodded, hope glimmering in her eyes. "Anything to help, Ozzie."

Ozzie set off, his foil hat catching the light with each step. He started by visiting the homes of those who had lost their pets, listening carefully to their stories. It wasn't long before he noticed a pattern: the disappearances always happened at night, and there were strange symbols drawn near the homes.

Armed with this knowledge, Ozzie decided to stake out the local park, where many of the pets were last seen. As night fell, he hid behind a large oak tree, his foil hat blending surprisingly well with the moonlit surroundings.

Hours passed, and just as Ozzie was starting to think it might be a fruitless endeavor, he heard a faint rustling in the bushes. He peered through the darkness, his eyes straining to see. Suddenly, a shadowy figure emerged, holding a small cage.

Ozzie sprung into action, dashing towards the figure. "Hey! What are you doing with those pets?" he shouted.

The figure froze, startled by Ozzie's unexpected appearance. In the commotion, the cage was dropped, and a small kitten scrambled out, running back towards town.

"Ozzie! Is that you?" a familiar voice called out. It was Sheriff Daniels, arriving just in time to apprehend the culprit. "We've been trying to catch this pet thief for weeks!"

Ozzie tipped his hat, a triumphant smile on his face. "Just doing my part, Sheriff."

Word of Ozzie's bravery spread quickly through Pinewood, and soon, the townsfolk saw him in a new light. No longer was he just the man with the odd hat; he was a hero, a protector of the town's beloved pets.

And while Ozzie still wore his foil hat every day, it now served as a symbol of his ingenuity and courage. From that day on, whenever someone saw a glint of sunlight reflecting off a hat, they knew Ozzie was near, ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

If you make your tin foil hat in the shape of a Cybertruck, you can kill two birds with one stone.

I saw elsewhere the cybertruck referred to as the "dePlorian".

That this thread is still alive says something (draw your own conclusions) about the Tuesday impact.

thank you for this!  i wanted to do the same math for national when California was around 10M votes and 60% (approx).  but never had the national total % and didn’t have time to roll up the bigger states to approximate. 

not nearly as compelling as an unfounded conspiracy that gets the blood boiling but it will have to do.

You write this, but you strike me as the kind of guy who’s probably already posted the current stats to his group of friends (on Facebook or Instagram) with kind of a “I’m just asking questions!” schtick.

we will only occupy Canada like they do Florida… when the weather is remarkably better.  unfortunately that is soon becoming 8 of 12 months.  can’t wait to see the “takes two to tango” encouragement to redraw the us / canada border.

also it’s pretty flat up there, we can surely bring our “dredge canals for waterfront property” skills and we’ll all be rich.

That is a smart kiddo!  The question was which one has the highest pressure at the bottom of the column.

In case you forgot, the pressure exerted by a column of water is given by the formula:

P=ρ⋅g⋅h

where:

P is the pressure at the bottom,

ρ is the density of the water,

g is the acceleration due to gravity, and

h is the height of the water column.
