The first shows the "drop off" of people who voted down ballot for one party, then did not vote for that party's Presidential candidate. In eleven states that covered both sides, the difference of drop off between the parties wasn't much: .63%.

However, in the six swings states that have reported their numbers, the difference in drop off percentage went haywire: 7.06%. Remember, these are the states that are so close they can be less than 10,000 votes apart. But after the rest of the country was fairly close in voting straight ticket,
and after exit polling taught us that two-thirds of D's said protecting democracy was their number one issue — synonymous with "No Trump" — suddenly the swing states decided they wanted all D's below, but Trump pulling the levers? That doesn't make sense, does it?
The other three charts compare the drop offs of 2016 or 2020 versus 2024 in three states. Notice how the earlier drop offs were random, which make sense since many districts lean strongly in a particular direction? Yet the 2024 charts show the R's increasing and D's decreasing in EVERY district.
That doesn't make sense, does it? And that's why I'm not as angry at Trumpers, because they got screwed just as much as the rest of us. Actually, according to analyses of the impact of tariffs, they'll get screwed worse.
