Actually, very good (comparatively). 20 million more voted this presidential election; it was the most since

1900! That's still under 70%, but you have to love the trend. Experts say the rise is due to the increased mail-in ballots.

Compared to other nations, of course, we're pretty lackadaisical about our "most sacred right."

"Pew found that the highest turnout rates as a share of voting-age population were in Turkey (89%), Sweden (82.1%), Australia (80.8%), Belgium (77.9%), and South Korea (77.9%). Meanwhile, only Slovenia, Latvia, Chile, Luxembourg, and Switzerland had lower voter turnout as a percentage of VAP in their last major elections than the US did in 2016."
