I haven't heard a figure yet on the voter turnout rate this cycle, but I don't think it's lower than previous elections, except for 2020, and may even be higher. The 2020 election data is all skewed, when you had some 20 million more "votes" than the prior election. I doubt 2024 numbers have exceeded 2020 numbers, but Democrats maintain 2020 was a "free and fair" election.

I had thought some confidence in voting and the system had been eroded, but perhaps not when I see how so many were gung-ho to vote. I suppose the Uniparty put up sufficiently scary candidates to frighten people into voting either way.
