This is a pie chart showing the distribution of votes in the US 2024 Presidential election, including non-voters and third party votes. It serves to illustrates the differential in voter choice between the two dominant parties, and the other options, as well as the impact of not voting in the election.
Who are non-votes? Registered voters who did not vote? People of voting age and ability who didn’t vote?
I like to compare voting to choosing the best way to proceed if you’re lost in the city. If you’re in a group that’s committed to living the the decision, then everyone has the right to vote, but not everyone should.
jesus…it would have taken such a small percentage of those non voters to swing the election.
People focus so much on third parties as spoilers and throwing away your vote, but they are absolutely dwarfed by non voters. That’s so frustrating.
I guess no one wins this election by popular vote
It’s almost as if more people chose “none of the above”
Considering US presidents are elected by the Electoral College, not the popular vote, it may be interesting to include a similar breakdown for the seven swing states that actually (and sadly) determine the outcome.
I’d be interested to know if fewer people turn out in “safe” states since they don’t think their vote will make much of a difference, than in swing states where voters are bombarded with Get-Out-The-Vote campaigns.
How many times are we going to see the same pie chart?
A wise philosopher once said: “If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.”
If he were alive now he would be quite upset.
Green is my favorite colour, but not here.
i hate you 2.6 million, but i realllllllly hate you 93 million that are just letting this happen.
Can you imagine if the non voters could organize around a candidate that their lazy arses could be inclined to vote for.
They would win most elections.
She actually caught up a significant amount since last week.

What if we restarted the elections every time the no-votes won?
That’s why dems should focus on bringing out the vote and inspiring people instead of trying to flip voters smh the GOP has that figured out
With. early voting and absentee, there is no excuse not to vote. Dems and GOP love to hate on each other and call each other names but you know what, those 98 million people are worse.
The discussion of non-voters generally is the most bullshit talking point. Yes a lot of people didn’t vote, but most of the people that don’t vote are likely in states where there vote is not going to affect the outcome like California or Texas so they’re happy to just free ride on their fellow voters or don’t want to waste hours on a meaningless vote. The discussion should be entirely on non-voters in swing states.
So third party didn’t spoil it. He really does have a mandate. All those non voters oh man… shame on you
Citizenship should be dependent on voting.
To all the younger people in the 38% I can say from experience….fuck you! I was there up to my early 30’s and it was the wrong decision
2024 is the first presidential election since 1996 we’ve had a decrease in the number of voters from the previous one. Absolutely insane to me.
fucking embarrassing. mot the trump, harris or third party voters but the non-voters
can people stop making these and wait till all the votes are counted. how many silly narratives have there been already.
“trump got less votes than last time”
“15m democrats didn’t show up”
this election had the same type of turnout as every other election.
I wonder how voter turn out would be if vote by mail was available to all 50 states and DC.
