These comments are from Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, and Threads.*

"What am I missing here? The math isn't mathing.
Analysis
A few days ago, the state of Texas had just over 9 million early voters. Not our record, but still almost half of our over 18 million registered voters. Respectable.
But now we jump to the end of election day, and the state still only shows 9 million voters. Like absolutely nobody voted today somehow? And some webites were showing that only 2.5 million people voted early? Where did these numbers go?
I wasn't expecting a full 18 million, but after early voting I expected more than just the 9 million we had. Maybe a respectable 12 mil. Something isn't making sense here and I can't figure it out.
What am I missing?

"While Harris conceded, she did say the fight is not over. Over 20 MILLION votes seem to have disappeared. 156 million voted in 2020. 2024 record early voting and many first time voters, and yet, the popular count only totaled 138.5 million. The math doesn't add up"

"Look, I want Harris to win as much as the next anti-fascist,
but unless you have at least a shred of evidence to support what you're
implying here, this is just a conspiracy theory.
Yeah, the ratio of early voters to election day voters is
different this year. Maybe all that messaging about early voting finally sunk
in?"

"And 15,000,000 fewer votes that Biden got, when so much more
was on the line this time. Add Trump’s statements at his rallies that “I don’t
need the votes. I have plenty of votes”. Rachael Maddow pointed this out…
something stinks and my first guess is it has something to do with Elmo’s
bromance with Putin."

"Really not into conspiracy theories, but his whole

Media ironically just wrote it off as prep for contesting
election results.
Know we have some of the most secure election processes
around, but can't shake
this feeling like we're missing something.
Also still wondering what this "little secret"
with Johnson is."
