1. Australia 94% vote.

Compulsory voting.

2. Interesting laws that make it illegal NOT to vote

The American "democracy" is on the opposite spectrum with the severe voter suppression. Targeted voter suppression, for you guessed it, minorities.

3. Quote:

“Voter turnout research shows that turnout is not declining, the ineligible population is rising.”

4. Yeap, "ineligible" in part because of voter suppression

5. Voter Suppression

Voting rights are under attack and few know about it.

6. I'm proud of my county

Santa Clara, CA - over 78% of registered voters turned out (and they're still counting) and overwhelmingly went for Clinton. That's more than the entire population of Wyoming.

7. Indeed, 78% is sweet.

10. We hit 80% this morning, with 5% of the vote still uncounted

We are something of an anomaly, though. We have a very dense, very diverse, highly educated population (this is the heart of Silicon Valley), and our last couple of county registrars made the voting process very easy. (They also have a web site, http://results.enr.clarityelections.com/CA/Santa_Clara/64404/183881/Web01/en/summary.html, where we data geeks can track all sorts of statistics (those places with 0% turnout are county parks - the deer and coyotes don't vote much) )

8. That's Oregon's lowest turnout since 1998

...strange.

9. I heard somewhere voter turnout for the nation was down by

14 million this election. Republicans win when Dems don't vote.
