According to @ElectProject data, turnout for the 2018 midterms is the highest since 1912, which is just an incredible shift considering turnout for the 2014 midterms had been the *lowest* since World War II. The volatility of the electorate right now cannot be underestimated.
So what’s your basic contention? That the “lowest turnout since WWII” descriptor is analytically useless?

WV had competitive senate races in both 2014 and 2018, yet its turnout increased by ~11% -- which I think supports a case for wider electoral volatility. But your qualification is noted
