    2020 is not the fucking baseline, this was above average, great even. 2020 was the highest turnout since Reconstruction you can’t rely on that to stick

      Honestly it should be. If people could find ways to vote during a pandemic, they should be able to do it without one. That we’ve regressed is a serious issue

        Am I right in my understanding that the ‘super high’ turnout of 2020 was still less than 50% of eligible voters? That really looks like maybe a minimum turnout threshold should exist :(
