Why Was There a Broad Drop-Off in Democratic Turnout in 2024?

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.

Does Biden’s “most extensive and inclusive VOTER FRAUD organization in the history of American politics” is likely still out there.

A large majority of missing votes are in solid blue states. Not sure why the Dems would dump millions of fake ballots into California, New York, Illinois and other solid blue states in 2020.

Well then, your basic argument is that the Democrats are super-geniuses who easily outfoxed the Republicans throughout not only the swing states in 2020 but also throughout the entire nation. And if Democrats did actually stuff 15 Million mail-in (fake) ballots into the ballot boxes in 2020, then that requires a very large number of conspiratorial Democrats across the nation. Which again means that all those Democrats are super-geniuses with IQs exceeding 230 and all of those same super-genius Democrats are also world-class masters at keeping a nationwide conspiracy a total secret.

Personally, I believe all kommieLa/Tampon Tim voters are extremely dumb, so number one, they would have literally no chance of pulling off that 15 Million fake ballots nationwide scam and even if they could pull off that nationwide scam, I don't think all those super-genius Democrats would be able to keep it a total secret for four years and counting ...

I also wish Republican talking heads & Republican politicians would stop going on the far-left MSM news programs claiming that Democrats stuffed enormous amounts of (fake) mail-in ballots into ballot boxes in 2020 and that they also rigged tons of voting machines throughout the swing states and the nation in 2020. If you're going to make such outlandish claims, at least have one actual real receipt you can point to and say, "Aha, Democrats, I got you! I know you stuffed 15 Million fake ballots into the ballot boxes in 2020, and here's ONE that I uncovered. Four years later, I'm still intensely searching for the other 14,999,999 fake mail-in ballots." (At least ONE ballot would be a start. So far, four years later, still at zero discovered fake mail-in ballots in 2020.)

LOL. Keep looking for those 15 Million (fake) mail-in ballots stuffed into ballot boxes in 2020 by Democrats. Let me know when you find even one of them. I’ll wait ...

Are you for real? What a nut case.

All I need to know I saw on CCTV with suitcases rolled out from under tables, and reams of mail-in ballots without find lines for envelopes being fed through ballot readers multiple times.

We ALL know more, but just that is enough for me. “2000 Mules” might be too cerebral for you to comprehend, but why don’t you give it a shot?

James Carville was right.

The huge rise in basic costs hits everyone no matter what party. It is a universal pain.

I used to feed 5 people on what it takes to feed 2 today.

The correct question is “Why did the 2020 dems get 15 million extra votes over the historical norms?”

Because this was more like a usual election. Less fraud, sure, but also fewer mail-in votes, less ballot harvesting, and maybe less interest.

The Republican claim -- at least on this thread -- is that 15 Million (fake) mail-in ballots were stuffed into ballot boxes in 2020 by Democrats.

Imagine that nationwide network of Democrat conspirators secretively stuffing 15 Million (fake) mail-in ballots into ballot boxes in 2020, yet four years later, we Republicans still can't locate even one of those 15 Million (fake) mail-in ballots.

That's the most laughable thing I've heard of in my life (other than the kommieLa/Tampon Tim candidacy). LOL.

And instead of looking forward to the next 12 years of President Trump and future President J.D. Vance, we're still obsessing about 15 Million (fake) mail-in ballots in the past of which we still haven't found even one? That sounds totally insane to me ... almost as insane as voting for kommieLa/Tampon Tim ... almost.

Could be the illegal alien voters who got away with it in 2020 knew they were being watched during this election and if they voted, their asses would be deported.

“Do you really think Biden got 81 million votes in 2019/20?”

I believe Biden got 81 million votes. That there were 81 million actual living VOTERS is another story.
