What the 2024 Presi­dential Electoral Map would look like if ‘Nobody’ ran opposite Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, and any third-party candidate

About 7.6 million more people over the age of 18 voted in the 2024 Presi­dential election than in the 2020 election. However, the percentage of voters who did vote and were based on the total population 18 and over was down a little over 3%. In the 2024 election, over 2 out of 5 citizens over the age of 18 did not vote, that is about 113 million potential voters and 10 million more than 2020. Combine this with the dynamics of the state-by-state U.S. electoral vote process, in which a candidate receives all the electoral votes* of one state, the question arises as to how much support does a Presi­dential candidate really receive during a Presi­dential election? *Maine and Nebraska split their electoral votes

The following posters and infor­ma­tional graphics relay infor­mation on the amount of people who actually have partic­i­pated in the electoral process of the last three Presi­dential elections. The U.S. maps show hypothet­i­cally what would happen if all the citizens who did not vote for a major party’s candidate or a third-party candidate would cast their vote for a candidate called, “Nobody”. The striking result is not only the fact that the candidate, Nobody, would win, but by how great that victory would be.
