(CNN) Eight days from the 2020 election, the story is just how many people are already voting. Numbers like those raise one obvious question: Just how high will turnout be in 2020? Turnout declined steadily for, roughly, the next 50 years -- although it dipped below 50% of eligible voters only twice: in 1920 and 1924. In that year, 64 percent of the eligible voters turned out to give a razor‐thin edge to John Kennedy over Richard Nixon. But could it get all the way to, say, 66% of eligible voters -- which would set a modern turnout record?
