Some Notes: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 - Above
data is from:
<https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/number-of-registered-voters-by-state> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and
<https://cookpolitical.com/2020-national-popular-vote-tracker>, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and
<https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/voting-and-registration/p20-580.html>, |

2 - More detailed voter registration data, by county, is in the
excellent Judicial Watch
study: |

|
3 - The accuracy of some of the data (e.g. US Census) is suspect,
and conflicts with other sources. |

There are multiple
insights that can be teased from this data. For example, regarding voter
turnout rates: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) In prior
Presidential elections, the highest state voter turnout in the country
was: 2016 = 75%, 2012 = 76%, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008 = 78%, and 2004 = 79%. (Source is:
<https://ballotpedia.org/Voter_turnout_in_United_States_elections>.) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) Based on
historical data (see "a"), any state showing a Presidential turnout
rate in excess of 80%, should be
considered suspect. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
c) Of the top
10 states with the highest 2020 voter turnout rates, the top five in
population all went for Biden. |
