Following Science Is Important. How About Math?

Post by Bryce » Mon Dec 21, 2020 1:43 pm

Chew on this for a moment...

Total Registered Voters In The US - 213.8 million

(https://worldpopulationreview.com/state ... s-by-state)

Reported Voter Turn Out - 66.4%

213.8 million registered voters multiplied by 66.4% = 142 million votes cast.

Donald John Trump received a reported 74 million votes.

142 minus 74 is 68. How did Joe Biden get over 80 million votes? Answer is pretty obvious.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

It isn't obvious to me. I'm stumped. How did he do it?

Sorry, not my job. I'm in the statistics department. You'll have to go over to the answers department.

Looks like, even the over counting of Trump votes, wasn't enough to give him the win.

Your number of votes cast is incorrect.


The Popular Vote

Biden won 81,283,098 votes, or 51.3 percent of the votes cast. He is the first U.S. presidential candidate to have won more than 80 million votes. Trump won 74,222,957 votes, or 46.8 percent of the votes cast. That’s more votes than any other presidential candidate has ever won, with the exception of Biden.

More than 159 million Americans voted in 2020: 159,633,396 to be exact.
That’s the largest total voter turnout in U.S. history and the first time more than 140 million people voted. Voter turnout in 2020 was the highest in 120 years when measured as a percentage of the voting-eligible population: 66.7 percent. You have to go back all the way to 1900 to find a higher percentage turnout (73.7 percent). The election of 1876 holds the record for highest turnout: 82.6 percent. That, of course, was also one of America’s most controversial and consequential elections—and not in a good way.

The numbers you cite would mean 75% of registered voters cast ballots in the 2020 election. Do you believe that to be accurate?

Again, I see different numbers. You claim there are 213.8 million registered voters, and the below claims 239.2, which would constitute about a 66.8% voter turnout rate.

In the original post you said "The answer is obvious." It may be obvious to you, but it seems to have escaped the rest of us. What conclusion should we draw?

Ok..I see.

Am I the only one that thinks allowing people to register to vote all the way up to election day just invites shenannigans?

And I'm sorry. I still can't accept that Basement Biden motivated millions more to vote for him than the Lord and savior Barack Obama.

1. MANY people hated Trump and could not wait to vote him out.

2. Voting is much easier now than it was 4-12 years ago. Mail. Early.

I know I won't convince you of the reasons, I am just trying to show your numbers are skewed.


And bidet...go play with your toys, adults are talking in this thread.

Yeah, I can see why my numbers are wrong with the late voting registrations.

Still don't think those late registrations were all on the up and up. If you hated Trump that much, wouldn't you have seen to things before election day?

That I can't answer. I know I am registered and vote every election, off-year, primary, etc.

I dont think anything is wrong with making it easier to vote though. Get more of the populous involved seems to me, to be a good thing.

Me? I would rather the most responsible and organized among us decide the direction of the country.

Notice they didn't have the town drunkard involved with the framing.
