Highest was CO.

Funny that all the states that went for drumpf had lower voter turnout as a percentage, compared to the rest.

They have the highest black population in the US, but Republicans always win big there. Something doesn't add up.

Picking a nit here, but Minnesota is reporting based on population not registration.
So Minnesota is reporting who voted based on all possible voters, the others are reporting on those who voted based on those who registered.

Using the registration number at the start of election day turnout would be 92 percent in Minnesota. (will be less because of same day)

labeled "accepted" early on but was never labeled as "counted". I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there was chicanery. The number of absentee votes was substantial. The race between Joyce Elliott and French Hill was supposedly very close but did not turn out that way. Hmmmm. I hope somebody from the Dems looks into Arkansas. The Cotton opposition thing was a major debacle too.
