Probably because 80% is the highest historical normal and they are showing us it is 781% higher than the historical normal

Our historical voting participation rate is in the 60s range. In the 2020 election, I think there were 100 million eligible voters who did not vote.

If 80% is 781% higher than the historical normal that would mean the historical normal is just barely over 10% wouldn't it?
