Original Note:
In 2020, there were 209M registered voters (not 133M) of whom 161M voted. Pgs 27-28: https://eac.gov/sites/default/files/document_library/files/2020_EAVS_Report_Final_508c.pdf The 133M number originated from a meme that went viral. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-registered-voters-133-idUSL1N3762CG Note: The Census reports 168M registered voters but it's not election data. It's based on a survey of only 60,000 households. 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/
