21% of adults in the US don't understand all of these election concepts.

Language is a huge part of the reason the USA is so divided today. Here's a look at a bunch of words related to the 2024 election that get thrown around so much, it seems people have forgotten what they mean. This video will explain all the basics of the US presidential election system, and also covers a lot of the criticisms and controversies surrounding the way things are done. US citizens, enjoy the video (share it with your friends), and go vote (even in your local elections)! International friends, enjoy this video (share it with your friends), and watch what happens next.

Here's my source for the data in the title about 21% of US adults not having adequate literacy levels "to complete tasks that require comparing and contrasting information, paraphrasing, or making low-level inferences—literacy skills at level 2 or above in PIAAC (OECD 2013)."
Adult Literacy in the United States, published by the National Center for Education Statistics

Understanding many of the concepts in this video requires the ability to compare and contrast information and make inferences. If approximately 21% of US adults do not have a literacy level high enough to complete these tasks, it means these adults also do not have a high enough literacy to understand key concepts relating to elections (which they may be voting in).
