    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.

      I was only joking

        @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.

        Only non-witches get due process.

            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.

                    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:

                              Screen Shot 2020-11-05 at 9.03.48 AM.png

                              Same site, registration vs votes cast:

                              Screen Shot 2020-11-05 at 9.05.28 AM.png

                              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.
