Thanks for the details. I was pretty sure I had seen similar percentages for registered voters, but either I was mistaken or I had read something in the MSM without being skeptical enough.

The figures may not be completely accurate, as they seem to be percentages of U.S. resident citizens, while voting figures include absentee votes. They seem to be aware of this problem, but so far haven't found a reliable way to apportion oversea votes to states, as the raw data is not available.

The last election was a huge change from before, though.  Declining participation had been a feature of the system for quite a long time.  You would have been right ten years ago.
