Original Note:
In 2020, there were 209.4 million registered voters. Not 133 million. https://eac.gov/sites/default/files/document_library/files/2020_EAVS_Report_Final_508c.pdf Pgs. 27-28 The false 133 million figure came from a miscalculation that went viral. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-registered-voters-133-idUSL1N3762CG Census reported 168.3 RVs but the "registered voter or not" question was optional and 37 million did not answer. https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2022/demo/p20-585.pdf https://www.statista.com/statistics/273743/number-of-registered-voters-in-the-united-states/
