Nationwide, voter turnout (as a percentage of the eligible
population) was 61.4% in 2016. But turnout varies by state. As shown by the
legend, the darker the blue, the higher the turnout. Let’s find how much
variation in turnout there actually is. Switch to Table view and click on
"percent" to put the states in order. Calculate the range by
subtracting the lowest turnout from the highest turnout. What is the range?

Let’s explore how Texas performs in
regard to voter turnout. Switch from data view to Table view and sort
the states from lowest to highest by clicking on the column heading
“Percent.” Notice that the ranking of each state is given in parentheses next

level of turnout). Start in 1992 and click on each presidential election
year. Note where Texas ranks in each of these years. Where does
Texas rank from 1992 to 2016? |
