2020 had some of the easiest voting rules in US history, with universal no excuse mail in.

Democrats were more likely to mail in votes than Republicans. So (largely Republican) states cracked down on mail in voting shortly after the election.

The participation plunge you're seeing is largely the result of that decision

Turnout was still pretty high compared to historic numbers.

So far second highest recorded turn out and it will be weeks for the final number. Keep in mind spoiled ballots will get added at some point (to the turnout count not to actually count)

ya, but what if you pretend that women are some monolithic left-wing force that totally would take the bear, instead of people? the bear v. man is literally a left wing bubble thing.

Its weird that the same group of people are ignoring women's ability of independent thoughts and actions are the same ones saying (not unreasonably) the other side is dehumanizing women.

Yeah but only 39% of bears voted Trump.

I think the ones who didn't vote for Harris are desperately rationalizing to blame Trump on somebody besides themselves.

Not true, but nearly half of them did

White men and women specifically

Mine is one race you could probably justify a hate crime on.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah no. Either Musk or Putin learned how to hack without detection. It's WHOLLY unlikely that majorities of women were polled, a gender gap was polled, and somehow that all magically disappeared. That is a STRONG indicator of hacking.
