With a huge increase voter turnout for both parties in 2020, does that mean the left faked votes for both parties or both sides faked votes? I see that there was a similar increase in votes in the late forties. Men returning from the WW2 I presume?
That's a great question - one part of the answer is that strong independents dropped out 2020 v 2016 - that freed up about 5 million votes - but you are right the unfeasible increase in turnout went to both parties +11 million Republican and +15 million Democrat. In defence of Republicans that increase continued in 2024 - so the +11 million is at least a bit more credible than +15 million Biden - but still outside historic ranges.
