High percentage of people in us voted this year – Washington Examiner

The article reports on high voter turnout in a recent election, which is expected to be ‌close⁣ to the record levels seen in the 2020 election.

Trump wins with high voter turnout nearing 2020 election levels

Voter turnout, the percentage of eligible people who voted in the election Tuesday, is expected to come close to the modern-day record set in 2020, according to an analysis released Wednesday.

Although votes are still being tabulated in some states, initial counts indicate overall turnout across the country was high, possibly fueling President-elect Donald Trump‘s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris and his mandate for policy changes.

The 2020 record stands at 66.4%, meaning that two-thirds of eligible voters cast a ballot that year. Roughly 1 in 3 eligible voters did not vote.

This year, 65% of eligible voters turned out to the polls, according to the University of Florida Election Lab data published Wednesday.

Voter turnout in presidential years, which occur every four years, has ranged from the upper 40s to mid-60s over the past century. From the mid-19th century through the early 20th century, voter turnout regularly topped 75%.

The seven battleground states largely surpassed existing records for voter turnout, according to a Washington Post analysis of UF Election Lab data.

For example, an increase of two percentage points in voter turnout was seen in Michigan and Arizona, while Wisconsin also set a new record with 3 in 4 people voting.

The Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee did not respond to requests for comment on voter turnout.
