36. NO. Apples and oranges. Where 'record turnouts' (as 'final numbers') were reported

the vote tallies reflected that. Heavy voting in certain areas, lighter in others. Also 'record turnout' - is often either a 'loose description' (generalized, non-numbers based) terminology ("long lines, people waiting&quot , or a description rendered for early voting (and incomplete) numbers. So, no - those two things are not the contradiction that you think they are.

And, no - you also did not see large numbers 'turned away' at the polls ... Show me an actual election official / poll worker that supports this version of events.
