Biggest vote drop ever

Reading the posts by the Left, you’d think that all these mean, intolerant, racist Trump voters could not stand to vote for a woman of color. I know facts don’t matter, but I researched the data and created a spreadsheet (posted on my website) showing every state’s 2024 vote compared to 2020. It was way worse than I suspected. 

Based on vote totals as of 11/07/24, Trump is down 1,339,000 votes nationally. Harris? 11,941,000! So the reality is Trump voters didn’t NOT vote for Harris, it was her liberal, entitled, elitist, intellectually superior friends who didn’t vote for her. By almost 12 million votes. 

Sleepy Joe Biden found 80 million votes, which always baffled me. But lacking data of fraudulent ballots, I was hamstrung to explain it. What states had huge turnout decreases? California was down 40%! Eleven other states were also down double digits, with Washington, Utah, Alaska, and Arizona down 20% or more. In California, Harris was down 5.1 million votes (46%) from Biden’s euphoric vote! Arizona was down 484,000 (25%) for the Dems. Illinois, 617,000. Massachusetts, 310,000. New Jersey, 498,309. New York, 896,439. Texas, 452,000. Washington, 495,000. 

Georgia was up, one of the eleven states to be up, with all below 5% increases. I could go on, but Harris underperformed Biden in every state except Georgia, Washington, North Carolina (barely), and Alabama. Why is the consternation aimed at fewer Trump voters than last time? The Dems’ negative attacks on Trump worked, to some degree, as over 1,333,900 fewer votes came Trump’s way. So that worked. 

But Dems forgot two things: 1) To convince Dem voters to vote for Harris, who, lacking any policy ideas, and having never faced a voter this year, managed to bungle every chance she had, and 2) To stuff ballot boxes with mystery votes. How else does one account for 12,000,000 fewer votes? Were I the President-elect, that would be worthy of investigation. Go look at the records of these 12 million nonvoters. Did they have a history of voting and suddenly not vote? That would be legit. I can see not voting for either candidate. But how many of those 12 million are mystery voters who suddenly cannot be found or have no voting record? If it’s substantial, as I suspect, that is where Congress needs to investigate. But what do I know? It was the biggest drop in voter turnout in history.
