there were more non-voters in 2012 and 2016 than in 2024. the turnout rate was still relatively similar to 2020, only a 2% difference. mind you, 2020 had the highest voter turnout rate in 21st century.

If we drill down to who they voted for, many more Trump 2020 voters turned out in 2024 than Biden 2020 voters. We need to look at Dem voter turnout specifically

okay. according to the pew research center, 85% of biden 2020 voters turned out this election, which is 4% lower than the 89% of clinton 2016 voters in 2020 (again, highest turnout in the 21st century). clinton’s voter turnout in 2016 was 83% of obama 2012 voters, and in 2012 the turnout was even lower at 81% of obama 2008 voters. in short, the turnout was still relatively higher compared to previous elections.

Ok, fair point. I do wonder whether this was the same in swing states though
