Or a lack of campaigning in the bluebwall states

We suffered from a lack of votes that were there for biden in 2020. There were just fewer voters recorded overall.

This was indeed one of the edges of the gop sword. Voter suppression was one of their key strayegies. If they could keep turnout low, they would win.

There were at least 10m fewer voters in 24 than in 20 by some counts.

That is significant.
