I would hope the EAVS does not use surveys to collect data like the Census does? Hopefully, they use hard data from the states and not surveys? 209m out of a possible 239m were registered to vote! That means 86% of all voting aged people were registered? That seems awfully high. That includes voters not cleaned off the voting rolls for whatever reason?

The state data will have some issues based on how well each states voter roles are maintained, but at least they are based on hard data and not surveys like the Census does. My guess is the actual numbers are around 195m-200m but nowhere near the 133m and 168m that have been thrown out.

No one gives a flip about your "guess." Especially after you stuck to methods double or triple counting nearly every voter who moved out of state in the past 5yrs.

I was wrong. It is not estimated at 86% of eligible voters being registered, but closer to 90%! Look at this breakdown of EAVS by MIT’s election lab.

quote:
The Election Assistance Commission’s 2022 report on the implementation of the NVRA stated that there were over 203 million active registered voters in the 50 states plus the District of Columbia. With an estimated voting-eligible population of 226.4 million, this suggests that about 90% of eligible voters are registered and on the voting rolls.

Holy crap, 9 out of 10 people in the US are registered to vote! LOL, I better not hear another person in the media saying we need to register more people to vote. Damn near the entire country is already registered, haha.
