Original Note:
The Tweet is wrong. There were 210-215 million registered voters: https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/number-of-registered-voters-by-state https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/dec/23/facebook-posts/bogus-analysis-leads-ridiculous-claim-about-biden-/ https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-voters-133-million/fact-check-133-million-registered-voters-argument-uses-flawed-logic-idUSKBN296284 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/12/30/fact-check-fals-president-than-were-registered-u-s/4010087001/ But worse, the Tweet manipulates a reader: Sources did claim 74M votes for Trump & 81M votes for Biden. If the sources fudged the numbers, why believe their claim that Trump got 74M votes?
