Just a question: Where can you see the voter turn out rate in this and possibly past elections? I can't find that.
Ballotopedia has past years, but I haven't seen any info for this year yet.

I've heard rumors of low turnout, but I suspect it is around 60% based on previous years.
Edit: WaPo says 65% this year. Can't find anyone else reporting on it.
Thanks, @OpenStars and @Vodulas
Past elections are on Wikipedia. And this one will take a while to pull the numbers together, but it'll be added in the coming months.
