Midterm Turnout Surged to 50-Year High

“Voter turnout soared in the 2018 midterm elections, according to an early projection in a new study, potentially reaching the highest level in over 50 years,” NBC News reports.

“An estimated 48.1 percent of eligible voters cast ballots, over 113 million people in total… If that holds it would be the highest rate since 1966, when 48.7 percent of voters participated.”
