Outdated data. The votes were not done being counted on November 10th. Trump got 49.8% to Harris' 48.3%
Ah. Fair enough. Last time I had seen it it was more than 50% still. Well then by a technicality not a majority then. I do love a technically correct statement so I'll give you that one.
Still. More people voted for this than didn't vote for this.
I don't want to pile on, but if less than 50% voted for this, then more than 50% voted against it. The people voting against it didn't vote for the same thing, but they did vote against this.
Well if you love technicalities you should've realized that people who didn't vote at all for any reason also didn't vote for this. Technically.
I'm not playing that game. Only people who voted get a say. Even if you give Kamala ALL the third party votes (which arguably the RFK votes would probably go to Trump) she still loses the popular vote and the election.
That's not the final count
Yes thank you. It's already been pointed out several times.
