Is it my imagination or is that number extremely low?
I predicted to the lib I work with that voter turnout this election would be far lower than last time and he was adamant that it would be high; it should be a lot higher if it’s going to meet the numbers from four years ago, shouldn’t it?
I expected it to be low but I didn’t think it would be this bad; if this number doesn’t spike it’s going to be worse than 2016.
The bars are shares, though. Assuming @vegeta1@hexbear.net’s number of 154 million, 71 million is 46% of 2020’s numbers
But 2020 was also unusually high-turnout and I’m assuming more people will vote in person this time around due to ending the covid restrictions, so I’m assuming the final proportion will be higher.
