Why Was There a Broad Drop-Off in Democratic Turnout in 2024?
The New York Times ^ | Nov. 11, 2024 Updated 3:17 p.m. ET | Michael C. Bender

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.

How many of the 2024 “missing” voters align with the counties and districts that had “over-voting” in the 2020 election?

What I would actually like is a full audit of voter registration in Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Atlanta etc—a walk through of each building and apartment, precinct by precinct.

I agree with you that broad claims are not appropriate.

I think it should be thoroughly investigated and proven or disproven beyond reasonable doubt.

That will require federal orders of complete audit of voter registration rolls and votes cast in 2020, 2022, and 204 since the governors seem unwilling to do it.

Without a true audit in each state, there is no way of knowing how many 2020 Dim voters were phantoms produced for still registered dead and moved voters together with fraud late mail in votes for millions of registered voters with a history of not voting, requiring illegal access to voting databases to secure those votes and not duplicate them.

I can see you going on CNN or MSNBC, telling the interviewer that you're a concerned Republican and that there were 15 Million (fake) mail-in ballots stuffed into the ballot boxes in 2020 and that the Democrats rigged many voting machines in 2020. The CNN/MSNBC interviewer responds: "Interesting. Is that just your personal opinion or do you have any actual evidence of even one fake mail-in ballot or even one voting machine that was rigged?" Your response: "... (cricket sounds) ..." CNN/MSNBC interviewer: "Yep, just as I thought. Thanks for coming on our show. That's our show for tonight. Tune in again tomorrow!"

LOL.

Because it was too much trouble this time to claw through the casket lid and dig through six feet of
81 million votes!

If there ever was a smoking gun that unequivocally proves the election in 2020 was fraudulent, this data is it. The whole point of Jan 6 was to have the state legislatures look at this data and decide whether to certify the perjury of their Secretaries of State or do their constitutional duty and intervene to prevent an injustice.

History will teach future generations that the 2020 election and Jan 6 were the political equivalent of the Alamo, and the 2024 election was the capture of Santa Anna, defeating the Mexican army.

gw-ington bloviated: At least if Republicans could locate lots of fake mail-in ballots that Democrats allegedly stuffed into 2020 ballot boxes, I'd give it some consideration. But four years later, still not even one fake mail-in ballot has been found, let alone 15 Million.

I watched an hour-and-a-half video in January 2021 where professional moron and corrupt liar Fati Willis "explained" to a Fulton County "judge" [Brian "Brain" Amero] for over an hour why the taxpayers couldn't see public records [the 2020 ballots] that the taxpayers paid for.

Garland Favorito of VoterGa had to sit and listen to the lying clown show by the amateur "lawyer" Fati Willis, while the stooge-"judge" wagged his corrupt noggin and dutifully kicked the can down the road for his corrupt Democrat buddies.

Put a sock in it, n00bie vote fraud denier gw-ington.

Not one of the Fulton County ballots were looked at with a critical eye, so I guess that shoots your clown argument right in the @ss...

You can safely ignore the vote-fraud denying troll gw-ington, Mayflower Madam - at least until he explains to all of us why the Fulton County "ballots" situation doesn't invalidate his specious "argument".

Republicans on this thread still laughably claim Democrats stuffed 15 Million (fake) mail-in ballots into ballot boxes in 2020 and Democrats also rigged many voting machines in 2020.

Similarly, Democrats still laughably claim President Trump will be a "dictator on Day One," will take away every American's rights, and will totally destroy American democracy.

I'm still patiently waiting for any actual real evidence of the above claim by Republicans and the above claim by Democrats ...

They're both absolutely hysterical claims. LOL.

Extremists on both sides are equally annoying. Even worse, they absolutely refuse to reason with anyone. The "15 Million fake mail-in ballots!" Republicans and the "Orange Man Bad will destroy American democracy!" Democrats are equally hallucinatory. (In any society, you're always going to end up with some extreme far-left & extreme far-right crazies. And both of them arrogantly scream at you, as though they actually think they're in the right, even though they have literally zero hard, reliable evidence to back up their false claims.) Too funny.

I think I may be the strongest advocate on this forum for the fact that the 2020 Election was stolen by Democrats. But Democrats didn't steal the Election by stuffing "15 Million" (fake) mail-in ballots into ballot boxes & rigging lots of voting machines in 2020. It was everything else Democrats did in 2020 that enabled them to steal the election. Beginning in November 2020, I explained on this forum exactly how Democrats stole the 2020 Election. Use your brainses.

It was never “cannot find” vote fraud. It was judges insisting on NOT LOOKING. Citizens never have “standing” when Dems cheat, doncha know?

You’re either incredibly stupid or deliberately lying and propagandizing. Either one is the reason enough to ignore and dismiss you. Go back to DU.

Where did that weirdo come from anyhow? Don’t recognize the handle in spite of the alleged membership date. One of those embeds hacking in from a lib trolling farm, probably.

Since Tuesday, I’ve noticed a huge uptick in interest re the phony election results in 2020. I expect that means we’ll see an uptick in pro-cheat trolls.

Sigh.

I was thinking they wouldn’t vote for Harris and couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Trump. So they stayed home

What it comes down to is every demographic the commiecrats pandered to and thought they had in the bag fled and broke for DJT. They thought they could BS their way through, since their campaigns amounted to nothing but psych warfare operations. But by and large it fell flat.

Thanks for that link. I’m sure there are many other times when votes were switched that were not caught live.

You sleazily ignored this question the first time I asked it, so I will ask it again:

Q: Do you have a logical explanation for the following?

OBAMA 2008
69,000,000 votes
Wins 873 Counties
Wins 18 of 19 Bellwether counties
Wins Florida, Ohio, and Iowa
Wins House seats
WINS ELECTION
TRUMP 2020
74,000,000 votes
Wins 2497 Counties
Wins 18 of 19 Bellwether counties
Wins Florida, Ohio, and Iowa
Wins House seats
LOSES ELECTION
BIDEN 2020
81,000,000 votes
Wins 477 Counties
LOSES 18 of 19 Bellwether counties
LOSES Florida, Ohio, and Iowa
LOSES House seats
WINS ELECTION
