It clearly explains that those 161,000 ballots includes those who double voted or voted for an invalid candidate.

Pretending that it's only people who didn't vote for President and thus is proof something was amiss is sketchy at best.

Complaining the number to previous elections doesn't really work considering how unpopular both candidates were and the presence of Sanders being perceived by some of his supporters as the only true Democrat and Clinton as no better than Trump. Obviously overall that was a small percentage of Sanders' supporters, but it's another factor that makes a straight comparison to previous elections an incorrect comparison.
