Graphic by me, created in Excel. Source data is from Ballotpedia and Wikipedia.
We've all seen many election graphics but I wanted to highlight the fact that the largest group of potential voters was non voters.
"Non Voters" only includes ELIGIBLE voters that didn't vote: it does not include those under 18, non-citizens, felons etc.
You can also see that being a "Swing State" has an affect on turnout: the states with the tightest margins are all towards the bottom of the graphic (WI, MI, NH, PA, GA).

It’s very trendy to shit on non voters instead of actually addressing what’s wrong with our political system and our god awful candidates that only answer to corporations.
The non voter crowd will only grow bigger in the future as people wake up to our travesty of a system that only benefits the rich.

So .. people go voting if they feel like their vote actually matters? And don’t go if it doesn’t?
i never realized that many people do not vote on the president (i am one of them)
Great chart! Very impressed to see this data presented so clearly.
Because the margins are so slim it would be nice to add an indicator (maybe a coloured dot by the state name) to show who won. My take from a quick glance is that Republican states are also the ones with lower voter turnout.
