So if Obama got 10 million less votes than 2008 and Romney got less votes that McCain did in 2008, what happened to the “record turnout”? Was the “record turnout” a myth or are we missing over 20 million votes? You can’t tell me that 25% of the voters skipped the presidential race.
I don’t mean to go all tin foil hat here, but the math just doesn’t work out.
BTW, presidential races tend to draw more people to vote than mid-term elections. The aggregate fall off in 2010 was 45 million ~ those are people who voted in 2008 but not in 2010.
