Historical Presidential Voter Turnout Numbers

DoorFrame — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 16:28:34 +0000

The NYTimes mentioned that if voter turnout were to hit 64% this election, it would be the highest voter turnout since the 65.7% we had in the election of 1908 (go Taft!). This got me curious about historical voter turnout levels and led me to this handy data repository, which I turned into an even handier bar graph:

Apparently I’m very interested in voter turnout numbers, as this is not the first such chart that I have posted.

Politigraphs

Why are photos of politicians often so good? Is it just that they’re photographed so often? For whatever reason, I really like this picture:

One of McCain’s strongest blocks of supporters is in the Vietnamese community (at least compared to other Asian immigrant communities) — do we have a Manchurian Candidate on our hands?

Electoral Gap

It’s been widely reported that Sarah Palin spent over $150,000 of campaign money on clothes, but my question is, what did she buy for $133 at the Gap? Do you think she has the same socks that I do?

Voting Fraud

Dear everyone,

Can we non-law enforcement types please be less concerned about voter fraud? I don’t care much about out-of-town kids registering to vote, and I don’t care much about a few people who don’t know how to use touchscreen voting machines. If there’s any actual, significant voting fraud going on, it can be dealt with outside of the electoral process. We have the police, we have the FBI, I’m content to let them handle it rather than griping about it endlessly in a ploy to influence the election or explain potential defeat.

Thank you.

Hey, look at me, I know someone running for the North Dakota state Senate:

Do I know anybody else who lives in North Dakota?
