How many people actually forget who they voted for in past Presidential elections? I have a hard time believing they make up a significant percentage of the electorate.
They always convince themselves they actually voted for the winner; it's a weird coping mechanism(this was literally taught to me in politics sci 101); it's very strange because the ballot now is a secret ballot and the election is over

Political scientists say a lot of people misremember. In particular they say they voted for the winner when that actually voted for the loser.

After Watergate, the majority of Americans claimed to have voted for McGovern. If they "misremember", it's because they want to forget something.
