It also doesnt include the, relevant, fact that half of the USA did not vote. People seem to hear this as more Americans voted for Hillary than didnt. This isnt true. More Americans voted for Hillary than Trump. More Americans voted for no one than either candidate.
- extra88 8y agoThat's only true if you include Americans ineligible to vote (i.e. children). 61.4% of adult U.S. citizens cast ballots in 2016. More Americans would could vote for either candidate did so than not. I doubt there's ever been a candidate that has won votes that total more than 50% of the voting age population so there's no reason to single out the results of the 2016 election. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/05/12/black-voter-turnout-fell-in-2016-even-as-a-record-number-of-americans-cast-ballots/ http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/05/12/black-voter-...
- skinnymuch 8y agoA majority of adults have voted in every single American election if I’m not mistaken. This is including fringe people who might not have easy accessibility to voting too.
