Letter: Election totals are upsetting

By Etha Bohr, Vancouver

In 2012, Barack Obama received 66 million votes compared to Mitt Romney’s 61 million. Hillary Clinton in 2016 got 66 million votes to Trump’s 63 million. Joe Biden received 81 million votes compared to Donald Trump’s 74 million in 2020.

So, what in the world happened to the 10 million voters who elected Biden in 2020 but didn’t vote for Harris? Where did they go in 2024, since Harris only received 71 million votes to Trump’s 75 million?

Very upsetting. Disappointed.
