Nope. Aggregate turnout is on track to nearly match 2020, which was a record high turnout year, as votes continue to be counted. Lower D numbers and higher R numbers in a similar-turnout environment indicates swing, not turnout problems.

Raw vote changes in 2024 vs. 2020. It is simply false to say that turnout wasn't down for Democrats this year.

Not a super precise one, I would guess there's maybe 1-2 million more ballots out in CA, maybe another ~million nationally. Which would put us at around 158 mill total, compared to the 159.7 in 2020.

It all started about 20 years ago. I used to see this older gentleman at a coffee shop, always meeting with young men, and it left an impression on me. I eventually struck up a conversation with him, and he told me that God had called him to help younger guys avoid the mistakes

That doesn't necessarily follow. Higher turnout of Rs and lower turnout of Ds would also lead to exactly this, without a single voter shifting. No reason to believe turnout changes have to be symmetrical between parties

The quoted tweet says turnout was "down for Democrats" Maybe there's ambiguity in what the word "turnout" means-- i.e. relative to registered voters, voting age population, party affiliation, etc But it's straightforwardly true that Dems got millions fewer votes this year

That seems obtuse. The adult population grew in the past four years but the electorate did not, and we know that turnout was down in some blue urban areas. Both can be true. Some switched, some stayed home. Trump found even more casual voters.

It’s honestly wild that leftists look at the second highest vote total election in history, barely below the first, and go “ah it was turnout that was to blame, all our popular policies loved by all were concentrated in people who stayed home” as if that would be better!! Jfc

These exits don’t make sense. They’re saying Harris outperformed Biden by more amongst men and women than Trump outperformed himself in those groups in 2020, yet Biden won the popular by a wide margin in 2020 and Harris lost the popular in 2024. That makes no sense.

I noticed something during the elections. Many look to politicians as if they’re our saviors, letting hope rise or fall based on who’s in the White House. Yes, policies and ideologies matter, and our country is truly remarkable. But even so, it pales next to our eternal home. If

“Rules for thee, not for me.” Thousands of IRS employees & contractors literally *aren’t paying their own taxes.* @SenJoniErnst audited the IRS & found they owed nearly $50 million. The government-wide number of employee unpaid taxes is over $1.5 billion. The hypocrisy is insane.

Alexis Pelosi has 20 years of experience in real estate and environmental law, 10 of which were at the law firm she founded. It’s actually a good thing when the government hires talented people from the private sector and pays them well.
