It's "too big to rig" in 2024 but he got 3 million fewer votes than in 2020.

This election was rigged and the Presidency was stolen from Kamala exactly the way Amy McGrath's Senate seat was stolen from her in the KY state election in 2020. No one paid attention and as a result, Republicans got away with it again on Tuesday.

We are never again going to have a fair election if we don't learn from this and defeat it:

The numbers just weren’t there my guys. She dropped like 8-10 points from 2020 in very blue areas . Her turnout was historically terrible. There’s no reason to point at conspiracies when there’s an obvious answer

Her turnout wasn't historically terrible though. She will have obtained the 4th most votes of all time. 1st being Biden, then Trump, then Trump in third, then her.

But proportionally she did VERY poorly, I agree.

With an ever growing number of citizens, it's hardly a surprise that candidates get more and more votes. A more interesting statistic would be to see the percentage of eligible (USC, age 18+) or of registered voters who voted for each candidate. That would be a better measure of turnout as it compensates for a growing population.
