While it is probably just that they werent counted yet
It’s unrelated to the rest of your comment, but i wanted to underline something here : California has 25.2M eligible voters(, based on the VEP column from the document given by @multitotal above). If we’ve only counted half of their votes, then it’s there that we’ll find most of the missing 15.5M votes.
Since California overwhelmingly votes Democrat(, appr. 66%-33%), then it’s probably fair to assume 10M more votes for K.Harris and 5M for D.Trump, and they’re separated by 4M votes.
In the end, Kamala Harris probably got more votes than Donald Trump but i’ve yet to read a newspaper saying. Even if it won’t change the outcome of the election obviously, and i was too young/uninterested in 2016 to say if newspapers correctly reported from the beginning that H.Clinton ended up with more votes than D.Trump, i think that something so obvious/easy should have been noticed, or perhaps that they don’t care, like me.
Just to add that everyone’s explaining these results by the votes of minorities, even if it’s mostly white people voting republican(, confirmations : 1, 2, 3, 4, …), yet when we look at it, it didn’t evolve that much between 2012 and 2020(, here’s for 2020, and here’s for 2024. I’m not saying that there’s nothing to say about the hispanic vote, but it just feels less pertinent once you see the ups&downs, i.d.k., there’s probably more pertinent infos, such as the inflation or something, here’s my 2cts on your election 🤷.
Ya i mean at the end of the day it doesnt matter i just thougnt itd be really funny if the democrats put all that effort into losing and Trump still had to steal the election.
Just a note on this :
