Romney’s election day announced count was similarly low, leading to four year of ridiculous statements claiming that four million (or some other huge number) conservatives ‘stayed home’ compared to 2008.
Even Limbaugh occasionally makes false statements, seems to retract them, and then drags them out again.
Here’s a story from 2012 by the reliable manure-spreaders at Gateway Pundit:
...Fewer Republicans turned out to vote for Mitt Romney. Mitt won only 57 million votes...
So Mit went from 57mil initial count to 61mil (final count), which is about 4 million difference
So we could guestimate maybe Trump will end up at 64 million at final count
