    There are currently 168,000,000 people registered to vote. There are 300,000,000 US citizens and approx. 75% (or 225,000,000) are over 18. But there are people who are still not eligible - like those who have been convicted of felonies.

    Of the registered voters, 122,826,280 voted in this presidential election. That would be 73.11% of registered voters.

    Why then is it that the bureau of statistics says that we had a turnout of 62%? There is a rather large discrepancy. This suggests that a huge number of unregistered voters... voted.

    168,000,000 registered voters
    132,000,000 voted on election day
    62% turnout rate
    So, if 62% of the 168,000,000 went to the polls, only 104,160,000 votes should have been counted. Therefore we have almost 30 million unregistered votes. This is massive vote fraud then, is it not?
