      2020 had some of the easiest voting rules in US history, with universal no excuse mail in.

      Democrats were more likely to mail in votes than Republicans. So (largely Republican) states cracked down on mail in voting shortly after the election.

      The participation plunge you’re seeing is largely the result of that decision

        So far second highest recorded turn out and it will be weeks for the final number. Keep in mind spoiled ballots will get added at some point (to the turnout count not to actually count)
