alt Hacker News> How do you explain Biden getting so many more votes than Obama
US population in 2008: 304 million
US population in 2020: 332 million

Barring enormous turnout differences, pretty much every US election gets more raw votes than the last.
Interesting theory, explain 2024 when the total went down.
Simple enough explanation… 2020 was a massive outlier.
If you forgotten, the topic is GP saying Biden didn’t motivate voters. Well, that does not seem correct.
