Dear Scott Walker, Voter turnout in a gubernatorial election was highest in 2018, when we voted you out of office: Best, Retiring Guy

Ballotpedia needs to make the numbers bigger:
  • 2002:  45.4% (Democrat Jim Doyle bests Republicans Scott McCallum; Ed Thompson, running as Libertarian, received slightly more than 10% of vote)
  • 2006:  53.7% (big pre-Walker boost; Doyle wins second term)
  • 2010:  52.4% (Walker wins first term; maybe if the turnout had been higher, we could have avoided the mess he made)
  • 2014:  56.9% (Walker wins second term)
  • 2018:  61.4% (Tony Evers wins with 49.5% of the vote; Walker gets 48.4%)
  • 2022   59.6% (Evers wins second term)
