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.
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.
