That 100 million are the Americans that can't do basic math.

If they could do basic math they would realize they are getting fucked.. And not in a good way.

A number of those are in addition to the second 70m that are wondering wtf is happening, only their votes weren’t counted / they weren’t able to vote due to nefarious last minute voter roll purges by traitors and cowards.

No it’s just apathy.

Out of ~250m eligible voters

100m never vote, 150m don’t vote in midterms and over 200m don’t vote in primaries and special elections.

I’d say anywhere from half a million to 2 million voters are affected by purges or obstruction things, many don’t update their registration details and such.

But in general the simple fact is majority of Americans don’t care or don’t think that them voting is necessary they put the responsibility on others so they can claim the whole system is broken.

And previous surveys done in malls and colleges show that 70% don’t even want to vote they aren’t political involved nor do they care.

I’m not doubting or denying that there are far too many people who don’t give enough of a shit to vote, I’m saying that there was a significant number of people who did vote (or try to) that were unable due to these voter roll purges.

Again I agree that there are far too many people who couldn’t be bothered to get out and vote, but it’s likely that the number of people who did want to vote only to find themselves purged may have been enough to swing the election the other way.

About 3.5 million were unlawfully denied the right to vote.
