The actual outcome of this election with •the whole US population• as the denominator:
22% voted for Harris
23% voted for Trump
<1% voted for other
26% eligible but did not vote*
28% not eligible to vote
* (whether by choice or by voter suppression)
Numbers might shift a tiny bit as last votes are counted, but this is close to the final tally.
Just sit with that for one quality minute. Think about what stories people are telling about this election. Then think about what stories are true.
@inthehands @RnDanger in other news, let children vote! i think maybe 7 is old enough. 10 definitely.
who do you think would have polled better amongst children? how would they have adapted their message? fascinating.
@RnDanger @inthehands I’m pretty sure that number has to include children
The other percentages indicate the full population of the US, including kids
I believe it’s around 2-3% of adult population who is ineligible to vote due to felony convictions and I can’t think of any other reason for ineligibility
