In 2020 …

Nominee Joe Biden Donald Trump

Home state Delaware Florida[c]
Running mate Kamala Harris Mike Pence
Electoral vote 306 232

81+ million voted for Biden in 2020 …. Only 67 million in 2024 for Harris?

74+ million voted for TFG in 2020 … now only 72 million …

But it’s the Bide voters that are missing. About 10M. Trump will end up with the same amount of votes he had in 2020.

That's approximately the same number of votes the GrOPpers have claimed were "illegals" incessantly for the last four years.

Every accusation is a confession. At least, that hasn't changed.

( personally, I believe they were suppressed and intimidated. )

... is most of the missing votes.

Mail in ballots were easy, no one had to stand in long lines etc ...

Voter suppression works and it begins with having people in large areas waiting hours to vote

In the US of A the word lines are a huge suppressant.

It's no wonder the Trumpublicans worked so hard to get rid of the mail in ballots.

...that we went from over 154 million votes cast, down to about 137 million?

After all that Dem enthusiasm and Trump rambling, this is the result?
