Does the top graph not just show that all the gray states had people that did not vote be the largest percentage.

So if for example 30% voted for Biden and 31% for Trump, you still have 39% that did not vote thus making the non voter 'candidate' win.

In this case the voter turnout is 61% yet the non voters represent the biggest share.
