Everything I read said early voting was crowded.

Everything I saw told me the polls and lines were crowded, Yet the vote was down.

It just does not make sense.

It sure doesn’t, but then it goes back to what I said in post#3

Early voting was busy but many polling places on election day were relatively deserted.

Relatively, because the change in turnout was not a large percentage - but a small percentage goes a long way nationally. Indications are that many lower-income conservative leaners in key states did not vote.
