2020 Turnout vs. 2016 Turnout

Dear Citizen,                                                            November 2020

Nearly 20 million more people voted in 2020 than in 2016 in the Presidential Elections. Does that make any sense considering the candidates were such well-known public figures back then in 2016?

There was so much more controversy and polarization back then. Now in 2020 there was an incumbent President who had the highest approval rating running against someone who looked like he was about to pass out.

Is it me or does this strike you as odd? Where did all those additional votes come from? No one believes that droves(many millions) of additional people flocked to the polls because Biden/Harris captivated them to do so!

The largest voter turnout in the last 100 years was when JFK was elected in 1960 with a voter turnout of 62.8%. With the number of votes cast this time around, it is estimated to be in the vicinity of 75%. There's no way that many legal votes were cast when the highest turnout since 1972 was in 2008 for Obama with a turnout of 57.1%.
