Did... you even read my reply? 5.64% of the estimated number is 11 million. The error was in the percentage. And, no, it doesn't. Because I agree with all 3 questions and I am not a white nationalist. The questions are vague and over-exaggerating the scope for people like you. Even so for the sake of argument I can accept it as an absolute extreme upper-limit of your possible numbers and that gives us... 5.64%. You're an adorable minority.

Originally he claimed about 11% or 23 milllion, and then he cut that in half for his revision. You can't have a percentage error without a number error, they're directly proportional.

...It's a percentage error of the adult population of the USA. Read the original article. Jesus Christ this is embarrassing for you. The original mistake was 12% of the adult population, when it was actually supposed to be 5.64% of the adult population. Resulting in 11 million. The original number was correct, the percentage of the adult population was not.

The original number was 20+ million, Vox notes that they updated their title and piece with the new number. I remember when all of this happened, it's deliberately confusing.

Jesus Christ can you pay attention? The error was the percentage, I even linked the original article. The number was not mistaken, the percentage was. What the hell is wrong with you?

Since you keep refusing to read the article:

"Editor’s note: A data error by the author of the study cited here inflated the percentage of non-Hispanic white Americans with alt-right compatible views up to 12 percent. The actual figure is 5.64 percent. All numbers in the piece and headline have been updated to reflect the correct figures. "

Your reading comprehension could use some work. "All numbers" includes 11 million. You can look for the original version on one of the archive sites if you're curious.

E: here you go
