alt Hacker News> The US has very low voter turnout
Don't disagree with you in principle but 2024 saw a very, very, very large turnout for US standards - the biggest one... Kamala's 75m+ votes basically are good enough (by very wide margin) to win any previous election (slimmer margin in 2020 than others but you get my point...)

Both sides got more voters out, but it's still a low proportion of eligible voters.
Lots of people don't vote in mid terms, that's what Trump is aiming for.

2020 had about 4 million more votes cast.
