Whenever I try to bring up the crazy high voter turnout... I’ve been told by lib friends that the voter turnout % is not calculated based on the total number of registered voters, but on the total number of voting age population (some of whom may not be registered to vote)
I just don’t know what the definitive answer is. I swear I’m not a concern troll! I believe there was all kinds of fraud and in this election... but this the excuse I get whenever I try to bring this up.
And 98% is absolutely nuts! So even if it were based on voting age population would it still be in the high 80s? Which would also be statistically really unusual.
The number for voting age eligible people is considerably higher than registered voters. I don't see how it could be a better indicator because if you aren't registered, you can't vote.
Yes, but that makes the voter turnout % lower than if it was based on registered voters. And I just don’t know if there is any official way to calculate this.
I mean... what I keep getting told is that calculating the voter turnout % based on register voter is not how it’s done. It’s based on voting age population. And I don’t know what the correct answer is. And I suspect it may be out of line with past elections even if it is to be calculated on voting age population.
