Statewide, the 2018 vote was 83.1% of what it had been in 2016. In 2020, 799,999 were cast in the Presidential Election as compared to 2016. If the 2022 Midterm vote is 83.1% of what it was in 2020, we’ll see more than 5.7 million votes cast in this year’s election, which would be almost the same as it was in the Presidential Election of 2012.
