Believe it or not, low turnout numbers would probably be good for Obama.
As he's winning Democrats, but losing Independents and Republicans.
That said... voter turnout is actually a lot higher then you would think. It's just calculated stupidly.
It's calculated by counting the number of votes vs the number of people of voting age that appeared on the census... ignoring
A) felons can't vote
B) People with visas and other legal aliens can't vote.
C) Illegal aliens can't vote.
All three are counted in the US Census.

oh ok but what sort of turnout do you get in these sort of elections? In British general elections every 5 years, we get 60% to 65% turnout
|
mid 50%-low 60% for a presidential election
A nice graph-the VEP(voting eligible population) is what you want to look at

Simply doesn't compare to the turnout of the French or Venuezuelan Elections this year at 80% turnout each lol
