The Washington Post story said 66.2% of the voting-eligible population cast a vote. (The United States Elections Project calculates the eligible population by adjusting the voting-age population for non-citizens and ineligible felons, depending on state law.)
While the Washington Post clearly cited the voting-eligible population, Binney and The Gateway Pundit instead looked up figures for the number of registered voters — even though not every American who is eligible to vote takes the steps to register.
The United States Elections Project found there were about 239.2 million eligible voters for the Nov. 3 election. Using that denominator and an approximately 66% turnout rate, it shows that about 158 million people voted for president.
There is one more problem with the faulty claims by Binney and the Gateway Pundit — they rely on outdated data on registered voters. They cited World Population Review’s state-by-state tally of registered voters, but that website shows the number of voters in some states months before the Nov. 3 election. For example, for Florida it shows 14,065,627 voters as of Aug. 31. But the relevant number is how many voters were registered as of the registration deadline, Oct. 6, which was 14,441,869..

@MrBrownstone What ever shows the sheer nonsense of The Big Lie is ‘not legit’, yet you lick the boots of a narcissistic autocrat who sneers at your gullibility even while he pisses on your democracy. He knows you’ll help him to tear it down simply because you think there’s something in it for you. Greed, fear, and gullibility.
Trump made America a world-wide joke, and you keep things that way.
Hang your treasonous head in shame!
