It is a hoax. The percentage of 2020 is erroneous since participation is calculated with respect to the total number of people of voting age. Additionally, Wisconsin is one of the states that allows register to vote on election day. We explain it to you. In Wisconsin, according to data from the state Election Commission, on the 1st of November there were 3,684,726 people registered and 3,297,420, according to the count of The New York Times as of November 5, had voted in the elections presidential. ![\\"\\"](\\" screen-2020-11-06-at-9.22.15-1024x397.png\\"/)Electoral results to 5 November in Wisconsin, according to The New York Times But as we say, Wisconsin allows its citizens to register on the same day of the elections to be able to vote, so the figure of 3.6 million registered people increases. In 2016, election day registered, according to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, 12.7% of the voters. That is why, as the organization explains, they use citizen data in voting age, 4.5 million, to calculate turnout. This way, If we divide 3,297,420 people who have voted between the 4,536,293 people over 18 years old with the right to vote, the percentage stands at 72.69% of participation, figures similar to previous presidential elections. In In 2016 the participation was 67.34%, in 2012 it was 70.14%, in 2008 they participated 69.20% of people of voting age, in 2004 it was 73.24% and in the In 2000, participation was 67.01%. * Ultimately, to calculate participation in the state of Wisconsin, the Electoral Commission does it based on the number of people of voting age and not with the number of registered voters since this state allows the registration on the same day of the elections.
