The number of voters from 2008 to 2020 grew by about 25,000,000. Yet Joe Biden and Donald Trump combined received 24,173,130 more votes than in 2008. That's 97% of the total amount of new voters since 2008. This is of course an ABSURD number that is completely improbable.
We know that based off of prior elections the highest rates of voter turn out are people 45 and older at somewhere around 73%... The newer voters, people 18-29 years old vote at the very low rate of 48%. But lets say this is an off year and the 18-29 year olds voted the same rates as the older generations... we should still only expect to see 73% of the new voters voting, or around 17 million more votes than 2008 and even then, that would be unheard of in terms of voter participation.
This is brand new and I haven't heard anyone address this yet. Please spread this and let me know if you see any holes.
what is the % increase from 2008 to 2016?
