I didn’t say there wasn’t fraud, only that turnout isn’t the smoking gun that proves the election was stolen.

The 1st column next to the state is the "VEP Highest Office Turnout Rate"
The 2nd column is the "VEP Total Ballots Counted Turnout Rate," which is the rate "preferred" to publicly report because it is the statistic that includes all of the registered voters in the state.
According to Dr. Michael McDonald, Department of Public and International Affairs of George Mason University, that Nevada's turnout rate for the 2006 midterm election was 37.1%. So Nevada almost doubled their turnout rate compared to their last midterm election if the 64.5% figure is correct.
And the 3rd column is "VAP Turnout Rate"
See below the graphic for explanations of terms.
"VEP Turnout Rate is the vote for highest office divided by the voting-eligible population or VEP. In a midterm election, the vote for highest office is the highest vote tally for Governor, U.S. Senator, or combined House of Representatives. The voting-eligible population is the best estimate of the number of people eligible to vote.
VEP Total Ballots Counted Turnout Rate is the total ballots counted divided by the voting-eligible population. The total ballots cast includes blank and other such ballots, but does not include rejected provisional ballots. This would be the preferred turnout rate statistic, but all states do not report total ballots cast. An adjustment based on the ratio of votes for highest office to the tital ballots cast for the states that report both numbers has been applied to the national highest office to estimate the U.S. total turnout rate.
VAP Rate is the vote for highest office divided by the voting-age population, all residents age 18 and older. Although not recommended, this statistic is provided for organizations such as polling firms that sample the voting-age population."
