Fact check: Wisconsin has more registered voters than ballots cast

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The claim: Wisconsin shows more counted votes than registered voters.

Ballot counting remains underway in several key battleground states. While former Vice President Joe Biden appears to have won Wisconsin, some on social media are calling foul when looking at vote tallies.

"WISCONSIN REPORTING 101+% VOTER TURNOUT," reads a heading within a meme containing a chart tabulating the number of registered voters in select states and what percentage they comprise of the state's population. The meme then claims the number of Wisconsin votes counted is 3,170,206 and registered voters only at 3,129,000, indicating a discrepancy of a little over 41,000 between the two.

What is Wisconsin's actual registered voter count?

According to Wisconsin Elections Commission, there are 3,684,726 active registered voters as of Nov. 1. This figure, as well as denial that the state has more ballots than registered voters, was affirmed by the commission on its official Twitter account.

Voter turnout is reported to have topped 3.2 million, the highest turnout Wisconsin has seen since the 2004 election.

3. Wisconsin permits same day registration -

so the voters may well exceed the registraion prior to election day.
