ABSTENTIONS

Compared to the 2020 US election, this time (November 5, 2024) around 10 million eligible voters abstained from voting. There may be many reasons for abstention, but this decision can also be seen as a form of "protest" or mistrust.

If one accepts Senator Sanders' statement on the election outcome, then one can assume that many of the 10 million abstentions were to the detriment of the Democrats.
