something doesn't up, 138 mill vs 134 mill

[katusha]

138 million, that's the 2020 popular vote total
134 million, that's 2016 popular vote total.

does that seem right? record early votes and a brisk turnout on election day and we are virtually where we were in 2016. I have seen some estimates that they were expecting more than 150 million votes???

1. Wait

States like NY and CA have not been completely tallied yet.

2. Packed off in DeJoy's "empty" vans

and sent to incinerators.

[EarlG]

3. I think there are still millions more to come in

They're just in states that were called quickly and don't make any difference to the current electoral college battle. I know California takes a long time to complete its counts for example.

4. There's one thing here I always read. n/t

[unblock]

12. Are all your socks clean these days?

[Jersey Devil]

5. millions of votes remain to be counted

It may take a few weeks for the totals from large states like CA to come in. What we have now are only partial returns

6. This is starting to stink like last year's Trump steak.

[Drunken Irishman]

7. That number will go much higher as votes are counted.

[HiltonHeadDem]

8. California still has probably 1.3 million more Biden Votes

[bigtree]

9. California, Maryland, New York, and others will be counting votes for weeks

...remember back when California dribbled a million or so votes out late in 2016.

10. We don't have the final vote count for AT LEAST a week (if not two) from today.

The vote count in 2016 wasn't 134 million the morning after election day it was millions and millions less.

At a minimum there are about 1.2 million ballots left to count in NY, 1 million in NJ, 2.2 million in CA, and 0.4 million in Oregon. So even if there was no other ballot in any other states that would put us over 140 million.

11. You're comparing final 2016 results vs. 2020 election day results

Not a proper comparison. There are many votes still left to be added to the tally in CA.

[katusha]

13. thanks everyone for talking me down

did not seem right, but now makes more sense

[Rice4VP]

14. All of the votes haven't been counted. Clearly not California

[LisaL]

15. There was a big shift toward early voting,

but the turnout out ended up not really being much higher overall.

[Celerity]

16. there are tens of millions of ballots not counted yet

[sarcasmo]

17. DeJoy did the job Trump wanted.

[beachbumbob]

18. In excess of 10 million votes left to count or more

[sfstaxprep]

19. It Will End Only Slightly Below 150 Million Estimate When All Is Counted nt
