Those people could only be motivated to vote when it was as easy as possible and they had nothing better to do. They voted for the party that would handle COVID better and let them get back to their lives of not worrying about politics.
Covid killed at least 1,104,000 people in the United States to date. In 2020, about 385,000 were killed with Covid as a contributing cause. I can’t find numbers about the total deaths that occurred before election day specifically, but for the sake of simplicity I’m going to use the year total. Just note that the actual number of deaths was somewhat lower.
We can be upset at people who didn’t turn out to vote this election, but we can’t dismiss the significant chunk of 2020 voters who simply weren’t alive by 2024.
trump only picked up 500,000 more votes than last time. Lets hear from the 10,000,000 that voted in 2020 but not this election

Why does this even matter? We have an electoral college and turnout in the seven swings state met or exceeded 2020 turnout.
Maybe related to massive mail voting - just speculation haven’t seen breakdowns.

We can subtract the number that had already passed in 2020 from the total number of deaths to date. That gives us roughly 716,000 people who died of Covid between the 2020 election and today, and therefore could not have voted in 2024. The 65+ crowd is historically the most reliable voting demographic by age and Covid laid into that same age group the hardest.

Didn’t you hear? Starlink hacked the Voting Machines and deleted 20,000,000 Harris votes
more like 20,000,000
When your platform is all about “hey at least I’m not that guy”, it doesn’t inspire people to vote
That was also Biden’s platform. It worked then because we were still in the grips of covid
And right after a trump administration…
you’re funny, maybe they might put you in the camps last.
