2020 census: millions *fewer* said they voted compared to number of votes cast

Census reveals weird anomaly: Shows millions less voted in 2020 election than official tally :

According to the Census, the recorded number of people voting in 2020 was tallied at 154,628,000. On the other hand, official results place the number of actual ballots cast slightly north of 158 million. That’s a discrepancy of nearly four million votes.

3.372 million is not “nearly four million”, but it’s still a significant number of votes.

Speaking to pollster Richard Baris during an episode of “Inside the Numbers,” lawyer Robert Barnes said historically, the Census tends to “pin on the nose” the recorded vote numbers with the actual results. In other words, often the two data sets reasonably match.
Barnes is right. For example, the bureau was nearly spot-on in 2008, slightly under-reporting that 131,100,000 voted, while the official results showed 131,300,000 ballots cast.
Of course, sometimes the Census has missed the mark. But for decades, in almost every case where the Census grossly botched the results, it was because the bureau over-recorded the number of those who voted.

People are much more likely to tell you they’ve voted when they in fact have not, because they want to be seen as doing their civic duty, rather than tell you they didn’t vote when they in fact did.
