Isn't it law enforcement that normally tallies the numbers? I wouldn't trust them with this particular task.

Is 12.1 million

That sounds pretty fair but could be more.

G. Elliot Morris who runs the Strength in Numbers Substack has used crowdsourcing numbers to come up with an estimate of between 4 and 6 million. So pending more information, 5 million seems like the current "unofficial official" number.
