Wisconsin had more than 3.6 million registered voters heading into Election Day, and more than 3.2 million Wisconsinites voted in the presidential race
Tthat is the figure put out there by USA Today.


.

So do we have actual numbers of how man people voted in Wisconsin?

Most states at least in the northeast have about a 50-70 percent turnout and that is considered good. so how does Wisconsin get such a high turnout?

These are Ma stats put out by the state.

Wisconsin in 2016 had 3.378 million votes cast according to your chart.

2020 is comparable to that figure, Biden + Trump = 3.240 million = 98.5 %

I do not know where the 89% turnout figure came from. If the vote was 3.2m, that is in line with 2016, around 74%. The only way to get to 89% is if the voting eligible population fell substantially, as USA today explained.

That chart if for Massachusetts just put in up to show that the population vote fluctuates from 50 to 70 depending on the year and election years when there is a presidential election it is usually higher.

here is the vote for 2016 in Wisconsin(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

Vote was 2,787, 820 in 2016.

So 3,200, 000 would be a very high vote as there are only 3,600,000 registered voters in the state.

and Georgia

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

All of these states seem to have record turnouts. Georgia voters rose by over 1 million. It had over 5 million voters in 2020.

These numbers seem off the charts for voting. Are we to believe that 80 percent turnout was normal?

And Pa vote is up 700.000 from 2016.

This is the explanation from the USA Today fact check you posted in your original post:
when you divide the number of votes cast in Wisconsin — 3,278,963 as of Nov. 5 — by the voting-age population in Wisconsin (4,536,293 as of 2019, according to the elections commission), you get a turnout rate of 72.3%.
This is higher than the 2016 turnout of 67%, but lower than 2004 figure of 72.9% from that same fact check. It clearly is not an impossible or improbable turnout.

Turnout in Georgia has been huge, with early votes almost equaling all votes from 2016. Georgia’s Secretary of State predicted up to 6 million votes according to the LA Times:

So Wisconsin was at 2,787,820 in 2016 at 67 percent or registered voters and now jumped to 3,399,992. p(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.) and jumped to 3,300,000

George was already at 76% in 2016 which is very high and now gained 1 million more voters. It also hasn’t voted Democrat only one time for Clinton since 1984.(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.) .(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

In Georgia, 2016 the voter total was 3,967067 at 76% of registered voters which is very high for voter turnout.
in 2020, that vote jumped 1 million more to 4,971, 342.

Georgia has seen significant growth in recent years. Much if that growth has been in the Metro-Atlanta area, where 50% of the population of Georgia lives. The Metro-Atlanta area leans blue, and was blue in the last election. If you watched the news coverage, you will have heard that a lot of Biden’s votes that were still being counted came from Fulton, Clayton and Gwinette counties. I know Clayton was trending 86% Biden.
in 2020, that vote jumped 1 million more
I think Trump has done a great job of motivating people to the poles!

The population of Georgia has not changed. It was 10.3 million and now is 10.5 so population went up by 200 thousand not enough to bring about a 1 million voter change.

Again it has not voted fora Democrat presidential candidate since 1980 only once in 1992. So a forty-year history of voting Republican and now it flipped.

That is growth.

The population of Atlanta has increased from 5.3 million to 6 million by census estimates. The metro-Atlanta area was the 4th fastest growing area in the country between 2010 and 2019.
Again it has not voted fora Democrat presidential candidate since 1980 only once in 1992.
What is the relevance of this data point? Many of the people voting in Georgia for 2020 are not the people that voted in Georgia 40 years ago.
 
The state of Georgia did not have major population growth. It grew by 200,000. It got 1 million new voters.

The map pretty red(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

The blue are metro areas but still, there are many Republicans in those areas.

These major jumps in new voters happened in the remaining 7 seven states and that is why they would like recounts which makes sense.

730,000 of which moved to that blue area on the northern side (src).
Here’s a USA cencus map showing population growth and lost.

Thay isn’t relevant.

By the logic that I think you are trying to use, if 30 teachers in a school voted on something and three of the teachers were in the gym when they cast their votes while everyone else was standing in a classroom, the size of the gym would be a consideration in the weight of the votes of the three people.

The geographical distribution of the counties that lean red and blue do not tell about the distribution of the people and their dispositions. Let’s just look at the cluster of blue that is in the northern region of the map. These are the 2019 counts of people in those counties.

There are a couple of counties that are part of the metro-Atlanta area that went red that are not included in this count.
The blue are metro areas but still, there are many Republicans in those areas.
This is not relevant. The election counts the people, not the areas.

That’s false.

The recounts are not triggered by trends in counting. They are triggered by a narrow difference in the count. For Georgia, since there is a narrow difference a recount automatically occurs without requests. In some other states, if the difference is within some margin if a candidate requests a recount, the state is required by its own laws to do so.
 
It does not matter where people moved within the state.

The population of Georgia did not increase only marginally by 200,000 since 2016 so how did 1 million new voters vote in this election.

This idea of a recount is important to the people because they want to believe they got a fair election.

I only point it out to show the potentially faulty interpretation of “look at all that red.” The surface area of the red is not informative. Inferences made from it on the popularity of a candidate are faulty.

The map is used by pollsters to figure out areas for potential voting habits. Again it does not speak to the fact that the population of the state did not increase, only marginally since 2016 by 200,000.

So where did 1 million new voters come from in Georgia. This is the first time they have allowed mail in voting and legal voters are feeling cheated.

Recount is fair.

I think prople have to come to understanding that for this election the country had a strong compulsion to come out and vote and that is something to celebrate
Many young and older people who have not voted, are now practicing their civic duty. We have had the largest turnout for an election in history. That should be celebrated.

I think that would be true if it were not for all these mail in ballot that no one trusts - 1 million new voters, who are they and why have they not chosen to vote in the past.elections.in Georgia - alone.

In order for people to regain that trust, there has to be some accountability. That is why it is important for people to have these recounts. If these mail in ballots are legal , then people walk away feeling it was fair.

Otherwise you have half a nation thinking the election was stolen.
