This was billed as the "election of a lifetime" and yet we barely cracked 60% in turnout of registered voters, not to mention those who are eligible but not registered. The French held a presidential election this year too. They had 95% turnout!

It still seems to be on the uptick. We haven't hit 60% since the 60s. - LM - 08-Nov-2012 8:22 AM
- In my county, one of the few to go to Obama in Texas, turnout was 61.8% - ClaireD - 08-Nov-2012 8:35 AM
  - Turnout tends to be higher when there're open seats - Jimmy - 08-Nov-2012 9:58 AM
