Re: 'The 2024 election cycle was the "most challenging threat environment" '
Sigh- lets do some simple maths
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_United_States_presidential_elections
2020 had the highest turnout as a percentage, 2024 had the second highest it looks like.
n absolute numbers though - the engagement from the public is waning - because the public keeps getting bigger
2020 252,274,000 people eligible, 158,427,986 voted, which meant that 93, 846,014 people didn't vote.
2024* (estimated) 264,798,961 people eligible (so 12,542, 961 more) of which 156,302,318 voted, which meant 108, 496, 643 people didn't vote.
Subtracting the didn't vote numbers we get an increase of 14,650,629 people - which is more than the 12,542,961 the potential voters increased by. Hence less people engaged in this election.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
