voteball
This needs to be a thing yesterday
i stole it from matt christman's first vlog after the 2020 election, entitled "oh, did a voteball happen?" which is the greatest post of all time
Death to America
LMAOO
Edit
Fucking google fucking SEO garbage articles. I googled yet more and I finally found something useful.
Early voting map: How to make sense of 2024 presidential election data
Oct. 31, 2024
That chart compares the number of 2024 early voters to the total number of voters in past years, not early voters in past years. That article includes another chart which shows a comparison with 2020 early voting:
So Dems are definitely in a worse place than 2020, but maybe they're not doing worse than in 2016
Are Dems presumed to be the ones doing most of the early voting?
Its actually a fairly even split last time I looked.
Although all they know is the registration of the early voters.
I think I'm still registered Dem from the 2016 primaries but voted for Claudia, and I imagine a non-insignificant number of Reps are voting for Kamala and the unregistered might? lean Trump
They're saying early voting is pretty high this year (>50% of registered voters in NC and GA!). I would guess we're going to be around 2016 numbers.
Um....if I'm understanding this chart right, this means the last time the numbers were this low was 2014?
Unless I'm making a mistake - the blue bars are the key thing: "by mail or before election day". 2014 was 31.1.
The bars are shares, though. Assuming @[email protected]'s number of 154 million, 71 million is 46% of 2020's numbers
But 2020 was also unusually high-turnout and I'm assuming more people will vote in person this time around due to ending the covid restrictions, so I'm assuming the final proportion will be higher.
Ah, okay, I misunderstood the chart (like....grossly misunderstood the chart)
I don't particularly like the infographic I shared but I got very tired of googling due to google itself and SEO articles that go on and on but there are no infographics. I don't want to read about numbers. I never do. Show it to me as infographics that's what they're for.
I was wrong and you were right. I edited the comment.
this will probably be the last one I bother with
fuck this shit
They say this will be the last election in America if Trump wins.
the machine will continue operating whether or not the rituals are performed
No! The ritual must be performed, or else George Washington will return and eat up the holy constitution with his ~~teeth stolen from slaves~~ wooden teeth!
we can only hope to be so lucky
2020 was the first time early voting was so common I think. I'd be surprised if 2024 surpasses 2020's total just because of that.
what is there to vote for?
how will anyone's material conditions change based on the winner?
Most Americans don’t give a shit tbh
Anecdotally previous non voters I know voted this year
If they didn't vote in 2020 then why now?
Maybe the anti-Trump propaganda got to them. They’re going especially hard this year.
This is it mostly
Wasn't 2020 154 million voters? Biden alone got 80 million. I wonder what the final numbers will be
Still way too many
Non-voters stay winning though
