      Looks like Nevada and Arizona are the only swing states where non-voters were the majority?

      Otherwise, non-voters would largely have reinforced the existing outcome of their state

      If only didn’t vote was a real candidate and if it won then both other nominations are removed from ever running again.

      With how bad voter participation is in the U.S., I’d be surprised if Didn’t Vote didn’t win most elections.

      The only way you’re going to get more people to vote more reliably is if you switch to the popular vote or proportion electors based on the popular votes in congressional districts like Nebraska and Maine. Those 2 states have some of the highest turnout in the country – 73.9% in Nebraska and 73% in Maine in 2024.

      Too many voters believe their vote does not matter due to the electoral college, and they’re largely right.

      one of the Naturalization Civic questions to become a US citizen:

      “What is one **responsibility** that is only for United States citizens?”

      and a correct answer is: “vote in a federal election”

      Imagine if “Didn’t Vote” was considered a candidate, and if they won, we had to go another round of voting until someone actually got the majority of the votes.

      I’d be very curious to see what “couldn’t vote” looks like. and not because of age or citizenship, but disenfranchisement.

      Every state that isn’t a “swing state” should change their electoral college delegate system to match Nebraska and Maine (where delegates are split based on votes).

      The major political parties don’t care about the interests of those other states, because they aren’t at risk during election time.

      So how about getting us a decent candidate that we would want to vote for? Maybe then we’ll vote.

    14. fattybunter on

      Historically this was a great turnout. Check out the turnouts going back to the 60s…..

      Biden beat “didn’t vote” in 2020 but then party elites pushed him out, handing the election to Trump. 🤷‍♂️

      We need to ride ourselves of the archaic practice of the electoral college and mandate a vote from everyone I don’t care if you write in Mickey the Mouse you should have to vote. It should be a federal holiday and all businesses should be closed for the occasion.

      Was this changed from yesterday or will we expect to see it daily?

    21. its0matt on

      I personally Didn’t Vote because i am not choosing between the lesser of 2 evils.

    22. Jets237 on

      Hey look – it seems like when politicians only focus on swing states those are the only ones that turn out…

      fun!

    23. eyaf20 on

      Honestly we might be better off with no president at all for the next four years. Just leave it vacant lol

    24. Pelowtz on

      Copy paste from every election.

      This would be more interesting county by county. Then we could tell (maybe)if the results may have changed

    25. SkateboardCZ on

      People are incentivized not to vote in states with a clear winner from the start (CA NY) and in many swing states, did not vote is not the winner.

    26. YouLearnedNothing on

      It’s odd that this many people didn’t vote and trump got the highest number of votes for a republican, ever..

    29. mvw2 on

      There should be one randomly selected person who wins the presidency when this happens.

    31. czubizzle on

      For the millionth time, just because you didn’t vote D/R doesn’t mean you didn’t vote

    32. dletter on

      I’ll note that 5 of the 7 swing states didn’t have didn’t vote win… amazing what feeling like you actually have a say in the election will get people out to vote.

    33. andrewclarkson on

      I want to see what it would look like if “none of the above” was an option.

      Proposal for new Voted Electoral Count System (VECS):

      >If a represented State fails to muster a voted majority of ballots at the polls (i.e., the winner of a given election has received the majority of votes and that majority is also larger than the number of the voting-eligible population who did not cast a ballot in the election), then the State forfeits their electoral votes to the result of the popular vote of the combined States which successfully decided on a candidate from majority voter turn out.

      In this case, if the state is yellow in color above, then that state will cede its electoral votes, which will be allocated to the winner of the popular vote results of the States that are decidedly red and blue above.

      I have not run the numbers for this proposal, and GOP might still come out on top; this is just a proposal to not reward states with elevated voter apathy.

      Let’s make a new rule

      If the electorate is like this, the two party members both lose: both parties have to go back to the drawing board and produce a new candidate

      The acting president will be a Labrador Retriever until the new one can be sworn in

      I’m sure this isn’t the sub or post for this question but the post made me think it so I’m asking anyway.

      Why do states assign all of their electoral college votes to the winner of the popular vote in that state?

      When they have numerous votes, why don’t the assign them proportionally to the candidates based on their share of votes?
