We haven’t had even 65% eligible voter turnout for a national election for 100+ years, yet the state is involved in our lives more than ever.

While the MSM pushes that meme the International database does not support it.
“The Voter Turnout Database is the best resource for a wide array of statistics on voter turnout from around the world. It contains the most comprehensive global collection of voter turnout statistics from presidential and parliamentary elections since 1945.
Always growing, the database also includes European Parliament elections, as presented by country using both the number of registered voters and voting age population as indicators, and in some cases the data includes statistics on spoilt ballot rate. The easy-to-use database allows you to search for data by country or field, and even download all the data from the database in one file.”

The latter follows the former like day follows night.
