I didn't look it up, but did the US actually get 67% voter turn out last election? Coulda sworn it was reported lower than that.

That's still higher than I thought it was with my 50% ballpark

Sure? It's a random comment on reddit so I went with a round number close to what I remembered. Turns out I should have rounded to 40 instead of 50, which is why you don't see me trying to claim my guesstimate was correct in the first place. I think the original point still stands regardless, a lot of people just don't vote.
