Mainly because he picked Kamala as his VP. Next because he ran a second time when he intimated that he would not. Jit423 Nov 11 #68

Fox news, that's who complained about him. Relentlessly. Until people believed it. SharonAnn Nov 11 #69

Here's the data... littlemissmartypants Nov 11 #10

Once again--there are MILLIONS of votes in Calif., Oregon, and WA yet to be spooky3 Nov 11 #11

I've been watching that KH total every day and littlemissmartypants Nov 11 #14

I don't think AP has posted updates since Friday - for example, spooky3 Nov 11 #15

I know. ... littlemissmartypants Nov 11 #19

Yes, I don't think she will reach Biden's numbers but she may get closer. spooky3 Nov 11 #20

Lawrence O just said that PA also has lots of votes to count. nt spooky3 Nov 11 #63

78% now soandso Nov 11 #45

That's not AP, but maybe AP gets its #s from that site. spooky3 Nov 11 #52

I don't know where Decision Desk appeared from soandso Nov 11 #56

The net of those uncounted votes would have to swing MASSIVELY in Harris's favor to make much difference. paleotn Nov 11 #23

I did not argue that she would gain, let alone net, 10M votes. But she will likely spooky3 Nov 11 #25

Understood. The gap may narrow a bit but it's still a huge gap. Weird. Just weird. paleotn Nov 11 #31

Current numbers soandso Nov 11 #47

The anomaly was 2020 soandso Nov 11 #46

All the votes have not been counted yet. Farmer-Rick Nov 11 #17

I know. ... littlemissmartypants Nov 11 #21

At best she gets 6M of those. At best. More likely 5.5M or less. The gap won't close much. paleotn Nov 11 #24

My personal opinion is that a lot of voters in 2020 were upset about how spooky3 Nov 11 #29

Can't argue with that. I just can't wrap my head around how even that could shift 2020 this much. paleotn Nov 11 #36

I agree. nt spooky3 Nov 11 #37

2020 had record turn out due to covid accommodations LeftInTX Nov 11 #30

The votes didn't switch soandso Nov 11 #48

Look at the down ballot races! LeftInTX Nov 11 #50

How? soandso Nov 11 #53

Yep. Compare with a benign statewide or countywide race LeftInTX Nov 11 #55

So, it's not more voting down ballot now soandso Nov 11 #58

You left third party candidates out of your stats. LeftInTX Nov 11 #60

True! soandso Nov 11 #62

Voter Turnout dsvajda Nov 11 #18

Thank you! That is what I've been trying to get across to people. littlemissmartypants Nov 11 #22

Could it in any way be because too many people just aren't ready for a woman president? calimary Nov 11 #32

I didn't say you were insensitive or even that turnout wasn't depressed. I just said we don't yet have all the facts so spooky3 Nov 11 #33

Wow....that is a massive falloff. How many voted in 2016? yourout Nov 11 #34

Turnout was higher in 2024 than 2016 LeftInTX Nov 11 #35

Yes, true per Google AI--population was about 4% higher but voters about 14% higher spooky3 Nov 11 #57

The GOP areas are where all the lines were this cycle. LeftInTX Nov 11 #59

Trump has NOT had a huge increase in votes from the last election soandso Nov 11 #40
