Voter Turnout Highest Since 1968

Undated (AP) – The 2020 presidential election has officially hit the highest voter turnout in more than 50 years. The turnout rate in last week’s presidential election eclipsed the 61.6% of voting-age Americans who voted in the 2008 election. It now has the highest turnout rate since 1968. As new votes are still slowly tallied, that rate will continue to creep higher. The election already featured the largest number of votes cast for both the winning candidate and the losing one. More significantly, a large amount of the country voted.
