So how come the popular vote is only up to about 109 Million?
75% (% of US over 18) of 300 million people is 225 million.
So 116 million people didn't vote??
WTF??

Voter turnout is the proportion of the number of people
of voting age who voted. Some guessed that 60% would vote but that looks high.
