  • 33%, but yeah. Both are true.

    66% of eligible are voting, 33% of eligible are not voting. Of the 66% that did vote, half of those (I used 49%) voted for Trump. Half of the 66% is 33%.

    So, of the eligible voters, 33% voted Biden, 33% voted Trump, and 33% didn’t vote.

    Or, if you want math:

    .66 * .49 = .32 or 32%

    Edit: I misunderstood the question and gave an off-topic answer. Someone else commented the correct reason: not all Americans are eligible to vote. Children, felons in certain States, etc. Since they didn’t/can’t vote they’re not counted in the “half of America” statistic often quoted.

    Half of eligible voters voted for trump, which is about 32% of America in 2020.





  • And, IIRC, it’s just a trial to see if it will work.

    Edit: I should have read the article linked in a comment above…

    “As spotted by The Document Foundation, the government has apparently finished its pilot run of LibreOffice and is now announcing plans to expand to more open source offerings.”

    “In 2021, the state government announced plans to move 25,000 computers to LibreOffice by 2026. At the time, Schleswig-Holstein said it had already been testing LibreOffice for two years.”

    So, it seems the trial may be over and they are migrating for good.
