Voters in liberal strongholds across the country, from city centers to suburban stretches, failed to show up to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris at the levels they had for Joseph R. Biden Jr. four years earlier, contributing significantly to her defeat by Donald J. Trump, according to a New York Times analysis of preliminary election data.
The numbers help fill in the picture of Mr. Trump’s commanding victory, showing it may not represent the resounding endorsement of his agenda that the final Electoral College vote suggests. Mr. Trump won the White House not only because he turned out his supporters and persuaded skeptics, but also because many Democrats sat this election out, presumably turned off by both candidates.
Counties with the biggest Democratic victories in 2020 delivered 1.9 million fewer votes for Ms. Harris than they had for Mr. Biden. The nation’s most Republican-heavy counties turned out an additional 1.2 million votes for Mr. Trump this year, according to the analysis of the 47 states where the vote count is largely complete.
The drop-off spanned demographics and economics. It was clear in counties with the highest job growth rates, counties with the most job losses and counties with the highest percentage of college-educated voters. Turnout was down, too, across groups that are traditionally strong for Democrats — including areas with large numbers of Black Christians and Jewish voters.
The decline in key cities, including Detroit and Philadelphia, made it exceptionally difficult for Ms. Harris to win the battlegrounds of Michigan and Pennsylvania.

The entire 3AM voting bloc dissapeard.
They vote 102% democrat.

Yes. I think it disappeared strategically, too.
I saw the reports of out of state plated deliveries taking place.
But I think they realized the Trump leads were too much, so they aborted. Obvious big jumps like last time, but still falling short is not what they want.
I would love to see the return graphs, like the one in post one, for this year.
Yup...this makes sense. I’m surprised there wasn’t a “plandemic” this election.
Abortion is no longer the most important issue to Americans.
“”because a lot of typical Dem voters stayed home””
In other words, the millions of dead democRAT voters crawled out of their graves, saw what they were expected to vote for (Que Mala) and immediately crawled back in their graves.
In 2028 two issues will be eliminated at the National level: Abortion & "Democracy". Not sure what that leaves the leftists.
May have something to do with Federalism? The words. They use them, but they do not know the meaning.
The New York Times needs to hire a contractor to count fingers and toes and find these votes.
“Apes Inc.”
Lol.
Because the Democratic Party has devolved into a totalitarian insane asylum and Americans have had enough of them and their grotesque antics? The Democratic Party is trash and Americans put it in the bin and rolled it out to the street.
That is my best guess.
I’ll go with half lack of enthusiasm for the Dem candidate and “defections” to Trump, and half we wrung a lot of cheat out of the system with election integrity efforts.
I think that graph has been updated. The last I saw the red bar for 2024 is now above the 2020 red bar.
There wasn’t a broad drop off in turnout. There was a broad drop off in allowable cheating- which is not totally resolved. My prediction is when we go back to paper ballots the drop off will be astounding
Harris did not Hugo neck and neck w Trump in 7 swing states over abortion her only policy and counting for loyal leftist turnout
The times really ought to quit hating and just listen to Rogan, Dillon and Bannon. Just once in a while. These tree have circulation that is exponential to the times plus cnn plus msnbc plus the view On a regular basis
That way they really would have ‘all the news that’s fit to print’ instead on ‘don’t go there girlfriend’ and not get bowled over by surprises
those extra 20,000,000 “votes” were fake, that’s why
Shock and Awe !! Early voting didn’t give the Dems enough time to stuff the ballots with 18 million fraudulent votes. They needed to drag out the count in order to produce the numbers.
I’d like to see that with the final numbers. Is California still ginning up votes?
Maybe they aren’t ready for a stupid, cackling fraud of a ‘candidate’ who can’t verbalize a policy or explain her past failure in office.
Not ALL Democrats are stupid.
“..Why Was There a Broad Drop-Off in Democratic Turnout in 2024?...”
Hmmmmm....maybe somebody called.......GhostBusters!!!! /s
Good point...if all those votes were legit in 2020 then it must have been because of all those racist and sexist DEMOCRATS in 2024.
Ghost voters stayed home.
They murdered 18 Million Ghosts? We need a new holocaust war crimes commission.
