I keep seeing people express suspicion about voter turnout being so high, but that the total number of votes is fewer than 2020.
The totals are only CURRENTLY less than 2020. Final totals are not yet available, and millions of votes from, especially from non-swing states like California, are not yet counted.
We don't need to add misunderstandings and conspiracy theories to the current mess we're in.
Believe it: The American people are and were stupid and hateful and ignorant enough to put Trump back in power, no election rigging necessary.

(1,108 posts)That doesnt mean the vote was rigged.
Trump will likely match his 74M 2020 totals, or slightly do better, so ultimately nothing he did or said changed anything.
Harris will end up with maybe 3-4M more votes than Hillary, so I guess that is some progress.
The question is, where did the 10M Biden voters go? Could there be 10M Biden 2020 voters who simply wont vote for a woman? That seems to be what it boils down to for me, if only because nothing else is making much sense to me.
