Because of our voting system, a large number of people likely didn’t vote because they didn’t need to vote.
Sadly, many people think they only need to vote for Presidents, so you are probably right, although it’s that they felt they didn’t need to vote…even though down-ballot probably matters just as much.
Yeah, obv state and local elections are very important as well, although in some cases even those elections don’t really require people to vote due to district composition. Generally, I agree with you though. I was mainly pointing out that the popular vote for the presidential election basically does not matter.
