According to the census table, there were 154,628,000 citizens who reported that they voted, and the total ballots counted was north of 155M. That much is true.
However, the census table also includes 36,404,000 who did not respond to the question of whether or not they voted. Presumable, there is a portion of this population that may have also voted but just didn't report it to the census.
Thus, the reason why this article doesn't really have all the facts.
To top it all off, you completely ignored the premise of the article, which is that the Census numbers always over-report the number of voters, except for 2020, where they under reported by 2%.
In the census tables those other years, how many people were recorded as not having answered the question of whether or not they voted? Because I'm not prepared to give conclusions on incomplete data.
No, this guy is right.

No data for that before 2012, as far as i can tell.
year, unanswered, %census, %FEC
2012: 27,601 20.76% 21.38%
2016: 32,662 23.75% 23.90%
2020: 36,404 23.54% 22.99%
Note that the number of unanswered decreases relative to the number of votes from 2016 to 2020.
The number of people that did not answer is uncorrelated to the Census-FEC number.
Okay, so, what's the point then? Why does the data have to be the same each year?
