Then who the hell was on line?

Sorry, I'm not buying these figures.

millions of people who are eligible are not registered. Turnout is usually given as a % of registered, not eligible. This chart is about the eligibles.

The people who didn't vote.

People keep talking about how half the country this or that - but really half the country - if these figures are correct - didn't even vote at all - those are the none of the above


Except that I believe there are millions of uncounted votes from people who did vote. There's no way the turnout was only 54%

Figures tabulated Wednesday by The Associated Press showed that 114.9 million people had voted with 99 percent of precincts reporting.

However, the total figure is closer to 117.8 million based on estimates of uncounted absentee and mail ballots in California, Oregon and Washington, said Curtis Gans, director of the nonpartisan Committee for the Study of the American Electorate.

Another 2 million votes remain, given incomplete tabulations in some states, provisional ballots and other absentee ballots, he said.

Gans put the total turnout at nearly 120 million people. That represents just under 60 percent of eligible voters -- the highest percentage turnout since 1968, Gans said.

there are 2 million uncounted absentee ballots in California alone.
