An interesting statistic revealed during this election is that the U.S. population is approximately 325 million but only 120 million voted, so 205 million U.S. citizens didn't vote.
Approximately 20% of the non-voting 205 million, or approximately 41 million, were under age and couldn't vote, so that left approximately 165 million, for whatever reason, stayed home on election day.
According to my amateur statistic calculation, of a population of 325 million, 120 million voted, and 165 million stayed home.
Did any of our MSM talking heads mentioned this?
Many absentee votes are not being counted, as there are not enough to “affect the outcome” of a few state elections. I.e., there’s not enough of them to cheat.
13% of illegals voted. At +/-30mm, that would be 1.9mm votes.
Two million more votes for HRC came from California alone, meaning the majority of the illegals’ votes may have come from there.
2016 Eligible voter turnout % is predicted to be less than 2008 and 2012. We haven’t had even 65% eligible voter turnout since 1908. 2008 was the highest turnout since 1968. I thought it would have to be a huge turnout for Trump to win, I was way wrong. Besides the win, I don’t know if that’s a positive thing or not.

This non voting population remains an untapped source. We kept hearing about the so called monster vote. Never really happened. At least not nationally.
538 had a paper back in the summer were they stated they looked for signs of a substantial increase in registrations by non voters. There was little sign of this, and they were right.
I do believe that the exception to the former to some extent did happen in the battleground states, particularly PA. I always believed that Trump had a great chance of winning PA. Winning every PA county in the still contested primary along with 100,000 or so voters switching to Republican to vote in the primary was meaningful.
The 325 million number includes non-citizens. It even includes illegals if they don’t refuse to be counted. Another website had an estimate of 7% of the population are non-citizens so that drops 23 million from your count.
Could be worse, since WP says there are 251,107 persons of Voting Age in 2016, and thus around 53 5 turned out.
From 1846 to 1900 turnout averaged 70-80%, then from 1904 to now it has averaged 50-60%
But it also says
By 2004, ineligible voters constituted nearly 10%.[citation needed] Ineligible voters are not evenly distributed across the country – 20% of California's voting-age population is ineligible to vote – which confounds comparisons of states.[citation needed]
