So you are of the thinking that if someone does not support Trump they are somehow required to support Biden? Why is it one or the other? Is it possible to not support either candidate?

This is the not voting vote.

Regardless of who wins more people will not vote at all than vote for either of these candidates. By a wide margin. In 1996 more people did not vote than voted for the candidates combined.

Think so? The numbers I see for the 2016 election had turnout range anywhere from 55-58%, depending on the site. Considering the long lines at early polling stations and the increase in applications for mail in ballots, I think the turnout will be higher this election than the last.

Yes 50 some odd percent will vote more or less evenly for 2 choices while 40 some odd percent will not vote at all

Voter apathy is undeniable but I think turnout for this election will be higher than that of 2016. I think early voting reflects that as does the number of requests for mail in ballots.

And more or less evenly? I wince at that speculation.

there are only 5 or 6 states that are even in question.

America is a depressingly predictable place.
