Oh, definitely, the participation in vote by mail states is roughly double states where voting in person is the only option.
Substantially worse, but not 19 million worse.
Trump was +3 million, Harris was -6.
Millions more had the option available to them with no restriction due to Covid.
Substack blogs are not news.
From the election Wikis:
2020 - Biden 81,283,501 Trump 74,223,975
Total - 155,507,4762024 - Trump 77,303,573 Harris 75,019,257
Total - 152,322,830The numbers for 2020 were artifically inflated due to increased vote by mail usage due to the pandemic.
From that inflated number, the overall count was down 3 million, but Harris only dropped 6 million from Biden’s numbers, not 18.
Problem, the number they quote of 19 million people who voted for Biden staying home is a bullshit number:
2012 - Obama 65,915,795 Romney 60,933,504
Total - 126,849,2992016 - Trump 62,984,828 Clinton 65,853,514

The biggest reason is that voter turnout wasn’t repressed, the 2020 turnout was artificially inflated by emergency vote by mail rules due to the pandemic.

Tuk Tuks! Those are awesome! But I’d be soaked to the bone trying to drive one here 10 months out of the year.
Yup! There are various angles on fuckery here. I’m hopeful, but not expecting much.
I’m hopeful as the prime minister of Qatar is making it sound like a done deal, but we’ll see!
Depends on where you are.
Here in the US, there are whole streets with dealers specializing in cheap used cars. They aren’t online, you find them by going up and down the street looking manually.
Generally they are POS that won’t go a month without needing a repair that costs more than you paid for the car… but they are out there.
FTA:
“Any agreement must be approved by Netanyahu’s Cabinet.”
So be prepared for the whole thing to fall apart still. In theory the vote will be Thursday.
My choice would be to teach English literature, finances made me teach all manner of computer classes. :)
Removed, editorialzed headline.
YouTube links aren’t allowed, news sources only.
Yeah, regular communication with North Korea would likely get you on a list. :)
South Korea.
Oh, he already is, despite not being in office and having zero powers of negotiating. Something, something… “the strength of winning the election” something.
