How Many People Registered To Vote At The 2018 Womens Rally

Were there just 133 meg registered voters in the The states for the November 2020 presidential election? No, that's not true: While we could not find a total for voters registered in for all fifty states equally of Nov 4, 2020, we did find a cumulative number from earlier the election. The U.S. Census Bureau counted 153 1000000 reported registered in 2018. With 21 states allowing citizens to registered at the polling sites on the same day they vote -- and North Dakota not fifty-fifty having voter registration -- that number is far short of the final 2020 tally. The number of eligible voters -- non the number of registered -- is a more relevant number. The claim of the lower number was used on social media to back up a claim that if Donald Trump got 74 million votes, then Joe Biden could not take gotten 81 one thousand thousand.

The claim appeared in a postal service (archived here) shared on Facebook on Dec 19, 2020. It read:

If Everyone agrees that Trump got 74million plus votes and there are 133 meg registered voters...how many votes were left for Biden????

This is what the post looked like on Facebook at the time of writing:

The 158,240,239 votes counted in the 2020 U.South. presidential election stand for a 66.vii% turnout of all eligible American voters, according to a calculation by the United States Elections Projection. The judge took into business relationship the number of felons in the voting age population who were not eligible.

The project, which is based at the University of Florida, explained why pre-election voter registration numbers are not a good measure out. Read this on its page titled "Why not calculate turnout rates as percent of registered voters?" One major gene is that voters tin can annals in many states on Election Day:

The way by which eligible persons can annals to vote varies across states. N Dakota does non take voter registration. Other states have a policy known as "Election Day Registration" or EDR which allows individuals to register and vote on Election Twenty-four hours. In these states, voter registration as a turnout rate denominator is misleading since any eligible voter can cast a ballot if they so desire.

While we may not know the exact number of registered voters on election day, we know it was far more than 133 1000000 in 2020.
