How record was that high turnout? In our county, 76.3% of the registered voters participated in this election which meant over 778 000 votes were cast just in this county. When general turnout is maybe a little more than 50%, that's an incredible turn of events. To me it underscores that America is still a strong democracy at the population level, and with a few more controls on executive power in place, it will remain a strong democracy for generations to come.
Still, one wonders where the other 23% of voters are, but I figure it boils down to people unable to vote or confused on how to do it properly under pandemic circumstances. I figure the turnout would be closer to 85-90% if not for the virus.

The Florida election bugs me, like you my relatives in Tampa they were sure Trump was loosing, about 40% Latino votes in Florida for Trump but only 27% nation wide.
If there was any election fraud it was Florida, Governor DeSantis is a pure snake.
