Which jurisdictions you are thinking? The turnout rate probably dropped, that is self evident as older voters exit, and younger voters enter the electorate and they are not voting at the same rate as the cohorts 4 year ago.

The dark blue areas within dark blue states CA NY IL MD probably will see a drop of raw votes. But the numbers may not be as stark as the initial look the election night.
