Silk Summary:
When you look at the numbers of how many are registered to vote and then how many actually voted, something tells a different story. As well as the number of voters who voted in person as opposed to mail from 2020, also tells a different story that something was just NOT right in 2020!
“Over 158 million Americans voted in 2024 as Trump reclaimed the White House
Percentage of voters who cast ballots by mail dropped last year compared to 2020 presidential election.
More than 211 million people were active registered voters for the 2024 general election.
And over 158 million voters cast ballots in last year’s presidential election.
Those figures are according to a report issued to Congress by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), which has been conducting election administration and voter surveys of federal elections for two decades.
The commission touts that it “provides the most comprehensive source of state- and local jurisdiction-level data about election administration in the United States.”
More than 85% of voting-age Americans registered as active voters last year — the highest level on record, according to the report.
And voter turnout was the second highest in the past five presidential elections, trailing only the 2020 election.
According to the report, 30.3% voted by mail. That’s a drop from the 43% who voted by mail during the 2020 election, which, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, was the highwater mark for mail-in balloting.”
