I did the math. I’ll see if I can find it. It wasn’t 25%, so I don’t know where that number comes from. My number was ~32%, and I can’t remember if that was % population or registered voters.
E: Found it, it’s 32% of the adult population, conspiracy theory notwithstanding.
Most Americans did not vote for Trump.
Here’s how it works:
*US Population, adult over 18: ~250 million.
*Of that population, ~244 million are eligible to vote.
*Of eligible voters, only 63.9% voted.
*Of the 63.9%, less than half, 49.8%, went to Trump. To re-emphasize that point, Trump did not get more than 50%.
*Harris got 48.3%
*The ~1% difference voted third party.
The math is pretty basic. 63.9% of 250 million is 159.7 million voting, 49.8% of that voting for trump is 79.5 million.
So out of 250 million, ~32% actually voted for trump. The rest is the issue with the electoral college, but we’re talking people, not the EC.
It was a story going around on reddit a couple of months ago about a guy claiming to be a whistleblower. Some guy claiming he was an ex intelligence agent or something, said he was part of an NSA audit on the election that showed definitively that Harris won, but his claims didn’t have a lot of meat to them so I kind of discarded it as a hoax or whatever.
But there was some evidence presented by another account I can’t remember. He showed some compelling irregularities in the results that seemed plausible. There is also the court case in NY with people signing affidavits claiming their votes were switched.
I’m on the shitter so I can’t link anything right now, but hopefully that information from my poor recollection will help you find what you’re looking for.
That person is a liar making shit up to get attention on the internet. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was a pro-Trump troll. Since NOTHING makes us look stupider than repeating their Stop the Steal non-sense.
Reference on that audit?

Your math is probably better than mine. I did a simple votes / total population.
Thanks for the info!
YW. I gotta note a small wording error in my final statement, it’s 32% of the 244M (the voting population), not the 250M US population.
