Sorry for going back to 2020. I recently saw a fact check regarding the amount of registered voters in the US.
I'll just explain it in my own words and some quotes.
Many people thought the amount was 133 million, which is a lie. They say that because there were 158 million votes in the 2020 US Presidential Election, and they wanted to prove that it was rigged, false and a null vote.
"The U.S. Census Bureau estimated there were 168,300,000 registered voters at the time of the election, according to a January 2022 population report"
So with this new information there were 158.4 million votes. 81M for Biden and 74M for Trump.
But I dont know why, for some reason that number doesn't sit right with me.
For almost every US Presidential Election the voter turnout goes as follows (I'll focus on 1996-2020):
1996: Registered, 127.66M. Voted, 96.4M. 75% turnout
2000: Registered, 129.55M. Voted, 105.6M. 81% turnout
2004: Registered, 142.07M. Voted, 122.3M. 86% turnout
2008: Registered, 146.31M. Voted, 1314M. 89% turnout
2012: Registered, 153.16M. Voted, 129.2M. 84% turnout
2016: Registered, 157.6M. Voted, 136.6M. 86% turnout
2020: Registered, 168.3M. Voted, 158.4M. 94% turnout
I think that blows my mind that the US had a 94% turnout.
I honestly don't think that if we gave every registered voter a free all-expense paid Disneyland ticket, there would even be a 94% turnout who go.
Am I crazy for thinking that it was such a huge turnout?
What do we think the 2024 election turnout percentage will be? (I am not asking who will win, or be in the US Presidential Election for 2024).
