I’m still sceptical about vote count

-

IN ORDER to have voted in the 2020 US Presidenti­al election one must be a US citizen, eighteen years of age, resident of the voting district and most importantl­y registered to vote. (Source: http://www.thoughtco.com).

The number of registered voters at the time of the 2020 election was 213,799,467 people (Source: http://www.worldpopul­ationrevie­w.com). We also had a record turnout of 66.3% in the 2020 election. (Source: http://www.washington­post. com) Now, 66.3% of 213.8 million is 141.5 million registered votes cast. Trump received 74 million votes leaving just 67.5 million votes left for Biden. Oh dear!

According to USAtoday.com there are more than 234 million people eligible to vote in the

USA, but not everybody is a registered voter. Okay, so it is not necessary for everyone to be registered to vote, just eligible.

Furthermor­e, USAtoday.com goes on to say: “After weeks of counting, there were 159 million ballots cast, which according to the Election Project, accounts for 66.7% of the eligible voting population of 239 million Americans.”

Are we to believe there are 239 million or 234 million people eligible to vote?

How can we possibly believe 159 million ballots were cast when Trump got 74 million and Biden allegedly got 81 million, totalling 155 million.

Makes one feel slightly sceptical doesn’t it!
