How so?  The number of votes casts for the top two candidates in the last four
elections, rounded to the nearest million:

2012 - 125 million
2016 - 129 million
2020 - 155 million
2024 - 152 million

I am not sure where that 90 million number comes from, or also how many
didn't vote in these previous elections.  I have a difficult enough time
believing we had 23-26 million more registered voters between 2016 and the
last two elections, so I find it difficult to believe there could be 90
million that didn't vote this time but not somewhere close to that (or way
above it!) in 2012 or 2016.
