This math doesn't actually work.

They're comparing two different numbers:

Voting- eligible and % of registered voters.

Not everybody who is eligible to vote is registered to vote.

I was just about to post this after reading the article. We have tons of evidence of election fraud; this doesn't appear to be part of that.

I posted this as a top level comment, I meant to reply to you:

The actual article talks about registered voters. 140 million of those are recorded as having voted, which leaves 13 million “extra” votes.

I was just going directly off of the graphic they posted from WaPo

Yeah, the tweet was worded incorrectly and the Post graphic showing ridiculous turnout is a separate issue. If you combine the extra votes with the implausible turnout, we’re probably looking at 20 million fraudulent votes.

Remember the good only days, 2016, when there were only 3 million illegal votes?

All I did was follow the methodology in the article. Idk anything about the underlying data, just that the calculations they did are incorrect

So wouldn't the number of registered voters be lower, which would make the difference even larger? What am I missing?

If we have 213.8 million registered voters in the US and 66.2% of all voters voted in the 2020 election, that equals 141.5 voters who voted in the 2020 election

This is their starting point. They are saying 66% of all voters voted and using that to get 141.5M. From there they subtract Trump's votes and deduce Biden's.

But this isn't true. WaPo says 66% of all people eligible to vote voted, which is a larger starting pool.

It's a mathematical mess that starts with a bogus claim and thus reaches a bogus conclusion.

Okay, got it, thanks.
