According to Ballotpedia, no American state in the period 2002-2018 has ever achieved a turnout rate of 80% or higher. -

That guy needs to go on a statistics course before he starts throwing around words like "standard deviations" and "statistical impossibility".
This isn't a random process. If you make it much easier for people to vote, you shouldn't be surprised if a lot more people vote.

@George-K - the state of Wisconsin puts their turnout at 71%, which is less than 2004.
The reason is WI uses same day registration, and it is quite popular.
So they measure 'turnout' by % of voting age population. It's worth noting that the very graph you posted is using WI data and calc method (%voting age population) for all of the data points except the last one.

As it is, Biden/Harris already got well over three and a half million popular votes more than Trump/Pence. The majority of voters do prefer Biden/Harris.

Trump claimed he only lost the popular vote in 2016 due to fraud.
He was a sore winner as well as a sore loser.

I wonder if the voters who registered on election day account for this:

It's their state, but nobody should be allowed to register on election day.

It’s perfectly legitimate to ask to see those registrations....

George - where did you get that info?
This is from county.milwaukee.gov:
You can't see the heading, but the first number is Biden second is Trump:
Same site, registration vs votes cast:
Interestingly I found a file from the Wisconsin elections site from 11/1 showing registrations by ward and the numbers were already higher than the ones in your graphic. And that obviously can't include same-day registrations.

Kimberly Strassel tweeted it. Here's the link she tweeted (it was in my post as well). I know nothing of this source, or it's reliability, btw.

Maybe I'll send her the links to the official sources so she can publish a correction.

It was tongue in cheek. She's not a truth seeker.

Her source was a Milwaukee Newspaper. I followed the links earlier.
