Curtis Gans, long-time student of U.S. voter turnout, has estimated that 2010 general election turnout is 42% of the number of persons who could potentially have registered to vote and then voted. While this is very bad relative to other nations, it is higher than any midterm year since 1982. The 2006 figure was 40.8%, and the 2002 figure was 39.7%. Gans estimates that 90,000,000 persons cast a ballot in 2010.
