The really shocking stat is the growing number of eligible voters who have just stopped voting or participating in the system at all. When you look at the #1 reason why it is “no matter who wins my life doesn’t get better and no candidate represents me”. We have a quasi functional democracy at this point.

I mean, ~30 non-voting is, historically, really good
Things have been smooth enough in the last 80 years that people just don’t think they need to.
They’re wrong, of course. But this is a high-turnout election.
GOTV (Get Out The Vote) is always the actual part of elections. It’s also why the republiQans have focused so much on destroying that part.
If you look at the data as to why they do not vote the answer is not " things are so smooth that I dont need to vote anymore".
