Some reports are claiming there are around 210 million registered to vote in 2020, which would be about a 60 million increase in registrations since 2018.

If we had 2018's registration turnout would be over 100%.

For the voter registration to increase, during those two years a tad over 57 new registrations would have to be processed per minute. If you reduce it to the typical number of hours state and county governments operate that makes it 250 per minute, 5 per state per minute. That might be possible but seems like we'd have seen some indication of it somewhere.

It would be a big spike compared to the fluctuation in previous presidential elections.
