19. Something doesn't seem right to me. I thought registration was up on both sides?

Also wasn't mail-in and early voting up on both sides? What am I missing? Did that many people ask for mail-in and not send them in? And did that many people register only to not vote? Was it only the Democrats that failed to show up in the numbers expected? Why not?

The final numbers do not match the energy and excitement on the Dem side. It just doesn't feel right that so many did not follow through on voting. And tell me if I read the final data thus far incorrectly. The down turn in was mostly in the heaviest blue wall states of PA, WI, in addition to GA?
I'm just trying to wrap my head around the numbers coming out today. The numbers I find most unbelievable are PA in the Philly and surrounding areas.

Help me out
