Where did that vote go? Some died or were unable to vote for some reason and it seems 3 per cent voted for other candidates. That would only Account for well under half of the Democrats lost votes though and, just like over here with the Tories, it seems like the majority of those who deserted the party just didn’t bother voting. Labour lost MPs because of former voters of theirs voting against them because of their attitude towards Gaza and I’m sure a fairly significant number of former Democrat voters in America’s abstention (or maybe votes cast for Trump) were for that reason, but my guess is that the economy followed by the worldwide kickback against incumbent Governments were the main causes.

Some have suggested something dodgy happened, but I see Biden has talked of having as smooth a transition as possible and I think it unlikely that there has been anything underhand at play.
It's madness though isn't it? Millions and millions of uncounted votes, three days after the election. Clearly this creates a vacuum which speculation will only fill and in this case even with the result not in doubt it still fuels speculation about whether Biden really did buy votes in 2020 or whether Harris votes are being hidden now.

It really is not a good way to do it. I get the timezones, size of the country and different states different methods complicate it but how the hell can California have still only counted 60% of ballots?!

America is a great democracy in many respects but in this practical part of it they are dire
