    Math:

    This is an exercise to see what Election Day turnout would have to look like for Trump win popular vote.

    100,000,000* already voted

    60% Biden 60,000,000
    38% Trump 38,000,000

    If ~65,000,000 vote in person

    29% Biden 18,850,000
    66% Trump 42,900,000

    That will give Trump the popular vote (which I know he doesn’t need).

    Total
    Biden 78,850,000
    Trump 80,900,000

    For reference 2016 total voters turnout was around 139,000,000 or 55.5%

    To get to 165,000,000 voter turnout would have to be around 64%.

    Thanks for the math.

    Logic:

    Your math assumes the NBC poll is remotely accurate.

    I took you guys off of ignore for the day. Yes, all of it is approximate but in line with most other approximations.

    One thing that his math also assumes is that Republican voters answered honestly.

    That's in line with one of the reasons the NBC numbers might be inaccurate.

    I know 2 Republicans who quietly voted for Biden. I don’t know of anyone who is hiding their Trump support.
