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.
Um....if I'm understanding this chart right, this means the last time the numbers were this low was 2014?
Unless I'm making a mistake - the blue bars are the key thing: "by mail or before election day". 2014 was 31.1.
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.
Ah, okay, I misunderstood the chart (like....grossly misunderstood the chart)
I don't particularly like the infographic I shared but I got very tired of googling due to google itself and SEO articles that go on and on but there are no infographics. I don't want to read about numbers. I never do. Show it to me as infographics that's what they're for.
I was wrong and you were right. I edited the comment.
