>> Whatever the reasons, 42% of adults living in America had no say in the 2024 election. The vote failed to represent everyone.

The 2024 election had a turnout of about 59% of the voting age population. Since 1972, only one presidential election had higher turnout than that (it was 2020). If the 2024 vote didn’t represent everyone, then most every election for the last half century has been even worse at representing people.
