Fact check: Relation of total 2024 vote between democrats and republicans in cal.

1. Summary of the results

Based on the available analyses, no source provides the specific breakdown of total 2024 votes between Democrats and Republicans in California that the original question seeks. However, several key facts emerge:

• Approximately 16 million Californians voted in the 2024 election, representing a significant decline from 2020 ^{[1] [2]}
• The official certified total was 16,140,044 votes cast in California's November 5, 2024 General Election ^[2]
• Voter turnout dropped by nearly five percentage points compared to 2020 eligible voter turnout ^[3]
• This represents roughly 1.7 million fewer ballots than in 2020 ^[1]

Regarding partisan performance, the analyses reveal that Kamala Harris won 1.8 million fewer votes statewide than Joe Biden received in 2020, while the president-elect increased his vote share in 45 of 58 California counties in 2024 ^{[4] [5]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question cannot be fully answered because none of the sources provide party registration data or partisan vote totals for the 2024 California election. Critical missing information includes:

• Actual vote counts for Democratic vs. Republican candidates in major races
• Party registration statistics that would show the baseline Democratic vs. Republican voter pool
• Comparative analysis of down-ballot races beyond the presidential contest
• Geographic breakdown of partisan performance across California's diverse regions

The analyses focus primarily on overall turnout decline rather than partisan vote distribution, leaving significant gaps in understanding the relationship between Democratic and Republican vote totals ^{[3] [1] [2]}.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement itself does not contain misinformation, as it poses a legitimate factual question. However, the phrasing suggests an expectation that such data should be readily available, when in fact detailed partisan breakdowns may not be immediately accessible through standard election reporting.

The question's brevity may reflect an assumption that simple Democratic vs. Republican vote totals adequately capture California's complex electoral dynamics, potentially overlooking the state's significant independent and third-party voter populations. Additionally, without specifying which races (presidential, gubernatorial, legislative) are being referenced, the question lacks the precision needed for a comprehensive answer based on the available source material.
