The election was not a low-turnout election

[The Mikado]

Updated with final vote totals. I think it's a great rebuttal to the line that 2016 was a low turnout election. Not only was eligible voter turnout up even in a % form from 2012 (58% in 2012, 59% in 2016), but that meant that a whole eight million more votes were cast. Yet people keep on repeating this idea that somehow 2016 was super-low turnout despite being the third-highest turnout since 1968.

EDIT: Because Atlas doesn't agree with imgur for whatever reason:

Low? No.

Lower than 2012 or 2008? Yes.  By .2% actually

electproject.org disagrees and has VEP at 59.3 in 2016 vs 58.0 in 2012. http://www.electproject.org/home/voter-turnout/voter-turnout-data They're a pretty reputable source and it's run by a Poli Sci professor.

EDIT: Obviously still considerably down from 2008.
