1. I need it to be 10million

I made a bet with a "both sides are useless" friend of mine

[2naSalit]

3. I suspect...

It may have been 10+ even if it isn't acknowledged.

[SheltieLover]

5. I'm thinking more like 15m+

There were so many more people & last time weren't there 14m?

[Celerity]

10. There absolutely was not 14 million in June. That is an extreme overcount.

[2naSalit]

11. Between NYC...

Chicago and LA was probably about 7 million alone.

[SheltieLover]

13. Exactly, 2na!

And last time, Boston had well over a million.

So fucking sick of the goddam lies.

Truth be told, perhaps this most recent event drew a total of 21 - 25 mill. (Watch the daggers come out for me having dared to defy the lying media.)

6. These estimates are being tallied by Indivisible.

It’s based on both self reporting and crowd estimates by organizers on the ground. My mom’s retirement home had a No Kings March around their building, with a 100 year old woman leading the pack. There were about ten of them, Mom, 94, included. They reported in after the fact, with photographic proof. The crowd was counted by two measures, taking both counts and crunch them in some fashion. (I am not a statistician.)

17. Registered attendees. How many more showed up? Guessing a LOT!

[intheflow]

21. Hence the two counting methods. n/t

[elleng]

4. and I read somewhere it was actually 12,000 something,

the higher numbers were ACTUALS, the lower polling.

[CMell]

14. We'll never know for sure. n/t

18. Welcome to DU

[littlemissmartypants]

19. Some places actually had people with counters like...

The ones used to headcount in crowds. I wish they would make that standard practice. And we need to count the supporters in vehicles, too. Also some stay home because they have to for various reasons but they are supporters. They should be counted too!

Welcome to DU!

[CMell]

22. Thanks. Also ...

... I 100% agree with what you said.

I'm waiting to see what effect on the off year election next month.
And I'm very optimistic.

23. Welcome to DU

[herding cats]

2. Wow.

That's beautiful!

I wonder if this is in part why he decided to tear down the East Wing? He was perhaps having a tantrum?

[IcyPeas]

7. The democrats had a joyful day so he had to get that headline off the front page

[BigmanPigman]

8. No, that's a low ball figure.

Hands Off in April had over 4 million. NO KINGS June 14th had over 9 million. NO KINGS Oct 18 had over 11 million. Whatever number the MSM gives, multiply it by 33% and that is the more accurate estimate.

I keep track of this stuff with people who know from experience at estimating figures accurately. Mathematicians have said there are always more than what is estimated by "whoever" with a microphone and an audience.

[Dave says]

15. You mean "add 33% more", don't you?

Simply multiplying 33% reduces the estimate. Say 9 million was estimated. Multiplying it by 33% yields a final number of 3 million. Adding 33% yields 12 million.

9. Whose "they" in the post? Thx on advance

[Hotler]

12. Kicking .... nt

[BH liberal]

16. I was there...

at the small-town rally in a heavily Republican district. And the turnout was amazing!

[littlemissmartypants]

20. There was only one town in my area that had rallies the first time. ...

This time there were five total. ~10 K for just the main one is the updated version so far. They are still counting. But if you register it helps keep count too...whether you go or not. We can show support that way, too.
