🧵 I am still seeing claims wondering why there was a drop-off in the number of ballots cast in 2024, or talking about about "millions of missing ballots." There's an easy explanation here -- there WASN'T a significant drop-off in turnout in 2024. /1

While we focus understandably on the political triumph of Pres. Trump and the GOP, we should also appreciate the triumph of public service of all the election workers across the country, who managed a safe, secure, and legitimate process, in which the people's voice was heard, loud and clear. Election workers around the nation have endured lies, abuse, harassment and threats for over four years. And yet they continue to ensure our elections are convenient, transparent, and verified, every time. That they also overcame unprecedented disinformation, bomb threats, and attacks, often from foreign powers, only makes their achievement all the more inspiring. Shortly after the 2016 election, I confirmed publicly that Trump had legitimately won that election. Similarly, in 2020, I confirmed that Biden won that election. And now, make no mistake, Trump won the 2024 election legitimately. There is again no evidence of any significant problems that could affect the outcome, and he has earned the right to take the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2025. Nearly half the country wakes up this morning disappointed in the outcome, as was the case in 2020 and 2016. This is understandable, but it's not an excuse to deny the legitimate results. There'll be another federal election in 2 years, and another presidential election in 4 years.
