D. voter turnout is lower in the United States than in many other democracies

Explanation:

Voter turnout refers to the percentage of the eligible voters who casts a ballot in an election. This is done to avoid any sort of confusion between the "voting-eligible population" and the total adult population. In the US presidential election the voter turnout is determined by the "gradual expansion" of the voting rights. But it has been seen that the voter turnout in the "presidential elections" has always been comparatively better that the "midterm elections turnout".
