Voter Turnout?

Recommended Posts

In years past, the voter turnout has been between 40-50% of eligible voters. I think that this year we will see a greater number...

What percentage do you think will be voting today? I'm thinking between 60-70%. And that's great, no matter how you slice it.

Actually it has been higher than that. The census bureau has only just started giving numbers of eligible voters. Previously the data were based on % of people of voting age, which included non citizens (around 8%) and non eligible felons (about 1%).

Also the turnout data has been based on votes recorded, thus excluding all the ballots that were excluded for various reasons (such as, you live in Palm Beach County).
