@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.

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:

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.

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