UPDATE: Eugene Volokh emails to suggest that the above chart is comparing apples and oranges: “Biden’s 81M was the final 2020 count; Harris’s 66M was the ongoing 2024 count, as of this morning. It appears that as of this morning there were still at least about 16M votes not yet included in the tallies, mostly but not entirely in Western states. In California, for instance, the current tallies include only 56% of the vote, and that amounts to 9.75M votes, so that’s about 7.7M votes not yet included in the totals in California alone. My rough projections from each state, based on how the vote broke down so far, is that there will be 9M extra votes for Harris and 7M for Trump, though there might be more (see https://reason.com/volokh/2024/11/06/quick-reminder-dont-compare-the-final-2020-popular-vote-totals-with-non-final-2024-vote-totals/). That will yield a total of roughly 76M for Harris and 79M for Trump, which is basically 5M less than Biden’s 81M for Harris and 5M more than Trump’s 2020 74M for Trump. It may even be a few million more (or possibly, though not likely, a few less). But it will be much more than the amounts reported so far in the right-hand column in the ZeroHedge comparison.”
