Some on Twitter and elsewhere getting hung up on whether turnout in WI was suspiciously high (almost 3.3M) given number of reg. voters on Nov. 1 (3.7K). But WI has election-registration, and historically 300-500K register on el. day.
So nothing crazy about WI turnout 1/3
WI turnout right now is 3.2M+.
That is 72%+ of the state’s 4.5M+ voting-age adults.
That’s high, but it’s not even a record.
2004: 73.2
2008: 69.2
2012: 70.1
2016: 67.3
Growth in votes cast from 2016 to 2020 was a bit more than 10% statewide. That increase was highest in Repub counties, and in small counties Trump won by 20+ points.
Increase was lowest in the biggest Dem county, Milwaukee, where total votes cast went up just 4%
