I'm seeing 3.5% -- where are you getting 8%.
- j0hnyl 2y agoTrump is at 71.8 million votes compared to Harris at 66.9 million votes according to AP. That's somewhere between 7% and 8%
- kenjackson 2y agoOK, you're doing Trump has 7% more votes than Harris. Which is valid -- I think that's not the way most people report it though. I think most people say that Trump won by 3.5%.
- j0hnyl 2y agoYou're probably right, but I think the popular vote stats tell a more realistic story of how the population actually sees things.
- PittleyDunkin 2y agoThis number doesn't count non-voters, though, which pollutes the whole metric. Ideally we would look at the holistic figures of margin as a percentage of total potential voters.
