1. I'd love that.

In 1996, when I was living in Toronto, there were complaints that a 75% voter turnout was LOW. I was floored.

I wish we had that problem here....

2. I don't know, man. That's a huge fucking number.

Wouldn't that be in the neighborhood of 250 Million?

[Drunken Irishman]

5. This is what they're projecting.

6. No that's a percentage of registered voters, not population

7. Last time TX had that good of a turn out was in 1992 per one article

They are expecting an **85%** turnout in Travis County alone!

On edit: just looked at Intrade site...back in '92 TX went red by only by 4.

4. 50% would be astounding.

9. I read that there are 230 million eligible to vote, and about 200 million registered.

Thus, 75% turnout would be about 150 million.

10. In Wisconsin they are predicting a 74% turnout beating the previous high of 73% in 1960.

But then we routinely have a high voter turnout for our elections. Maybe being able to register at the polls has something to do with that (out of 3 million votes in 2004 we only had 300 provisional ballots).

11. This morning on the radio they were predicting

a 90% turnout here in Georgia. At least in the Atlanta area.

12. Minnesota almost always leads the nation in voter turnout, and they're talking more than 90 percent.

[RL3AO]

15. SOS wants to top 80%

90% seems impossible.

[ogneopasno]

17. Sorry, I got excited there. More than 90 percent in some areas, including Duluth.

Still awesome, but maybe not quite as awesome?

13. sorry - unintentional dupe
