70% of eligible voters participating in at least 1 of 3 elections is abysmal. That only 37% voted in all 3 demonstrates this.
I'm not sure how intense your off year elections are, but one of mine had only a single uncontested race, so I'm not sure I'd jump to considering missing some of the offyears "abysmal".
66% voted in the 2020 presidential election. That number sucks considering how high the stakes were.
Based on the numbers I'm looking at, the people who didn't vote were the ones that were likely Republican voters. The people that stayed home were likely Republicans who did not vote for Trump. I'm all for political engagement, but I'm not sure how invested I am in making sure Trump gets all the votes he told people not to cast.
