Only one source ('What a circus': eligible US voters on why they didn’t vote in the 2024...) mentions that voters abstained due to the Harris campaign's stance on Israel. While this supports the claim that it 'may have cost votes,' there is no second independent report or official data provided in the evidence to corroborate this as a general finding or a formal 'report'.
