The so-called "bullet ballots" and too many voting for president only

[onenote]

78. You don't seem to understand what a "bullet ballot" is.

It's a ballot in which the voter only casts a vote in one of the contests on that ballot. It is common for a number of voters to limit their voting to just the presidential race and to ignore all of the other races on the ballot.

In Pennsylvania, there were a total of 7,022,625 votes cast for president and only 69,527,722 in the Senate race. That means that the number of bullet ballots in the presidential race could not exceed 70,903 or around 1 percent. There might be some bullet ballots in the senate race -- voters who only cast a vote in the Senate contest and not any other contest, including the presidential contest. But even if there are, it wouldn't change the maximum number of bullet ballots that could have been cast in the Presidential race.

BTW, the number of presidential ballots cast in Pennsylvania in 2020 was 108,687 -- or around 1.57 percent - more than the number cast in the only other statewide race that year. Does that mean that Biden's victory in Pennsylvania in 2020 is suspect? Of course not.

It really is just simple math.
