Voter turnout

[thirdworld]

Which state will have the highest voter turnout today? In 2004, a year with higher than average turnout, the state with the highest voter percentage was Minnesota at 76.7%. My new home State of Oregon was fifth with 70.6%.

This was the top 10:

1. Minnesota - 76.7%
2. Wisconsin - 73%
3. Maine - 72%
4. North Dakota - 70.8%
5. Oregon - 70.6%
6. Montana - 69.9%
7. New Hampshire - 68.9%
8. Iowa - 68.8%
9. South Dakota - 67.1%
10. Missouri - 66.3%

And rounding out the bottom, and the only two states with less than 50% turnout? California at 49.1% and Hawaii at 46.2%. I'm really surprised by that.

Want to know what your State's position was?

And the national average? 61.3%, which is higher than I thought. This year is supposed to exceed that. I wonder what it will be? Any guesses?
