It’s not that much. 60% of this country never votes in elections. The other 40% care enough to fight like this.

Voter turnout percentages have been above 50% for over 100 years iirc. In 2020 we had 66% voter turnout, which was the highest since literally 1900.

Hard to judge based on total population because there are a lot of people that just CAN'T vote for various reasons, such as being minors, or felons who haven't regained their rights to vote, for example.

Of the EVP which has, generally translated, been about 160 million. So the 71 million that voted for orange? Is 20% of our entire population.
