right. with the availability of early voting, that implies that most of that 69% didn't care enough either way. it was a pretty close election, probably with a slight edge going in for Harris, so that would tend to cause more would-be Trump voters to stay home.

in other words, there are plenty of valid complaints, but "abnormal" or denying a clear democratic mandate aren't any of them.
