How was the Voters Turnout in 2016?

I did my fusion table on voter turnout for the whole state of michigan. This is my first time making a fusion table. It was pretty easy and I love the map feature. I was surprised on the lack of turn out for the state in general. Many young adults don’t understand the importance of voting! We need to start educating our youth on voting.

  • The county with the most voters is Wayne County.
  • The county with the least amount of voters is Keweenaw County.

Using Google fusion tables

Google fusion tables is a new type of tool for me to use. The step-by-step guide helped me create the fusion table. First, I looked up the the voter turnout in the State of Michigan in 2016. I downloaded the excel document and edit a few things on there, such as, deleting the county code.

I downloaded Google fusion tables through Google Drive and uploaded the excel document on there. After that, a map of Michigan and dots appear. Now, I can share this map with anyone.
