But how do you count "didn't vote"? And what about "voted on other parts but not for President because genocide or whatever"? That second group might be countable, but the first is like proving a negative

You probably look at how many citizens there are, and look at how many voted. Then do some magic math.

I didn't, that's voter turnout and probably won't be fully available till all the votes are counted. If you're impatient though, here's the washington post comparing 2024 voter turnout to 2020.
