2020 election

In 2016, 2,207,757 people 60 or older died.

Figure about 8.8 million will die between election day 2016 and election day 2020. Of those, nearly 5.3 million (60%) would likely have voted for Trump if they voted. That age group is more likely to be conservative at about the 60% rate imo. Of those 5.3 million voters I'm guessing at least 55% of them voted. That puts it at over 2.9 million Trump voters that will be dead by election day. There will be another 2.4 million dead also from that group that may or may not have voted.

The younger age groups are more likely to be less conservative, making it difficult for all of the dead voters to be replaced by Trump voters.
