    that figure must be of the overall population.

    63.7% overall voter turnout nationwide in 2024.

    five states with the highest turnout were:

    Minnesota (76.4%), Wisconsin (76.40%), Michigan (74.7%), New Hampshire (74.4%), and Colorado (73.1%).

    2020 was the highest nationwide at 66.6%.

      Right, that makes sense, thank you.

      that figure must be of the overall population.

      I’d thought so, but forgot there’s actually people who cannot vote (shocker), so in my mind I went “okay, near-70% turnout, so why didn’t he get closer to 35% rather than 20?”… but this in addition to the turnout this time being lower than I remembered makes waaaay more sense, lol.
