    IMO cant go by one election, especially the Clinton-Trump, Democrats assumed they would win easily, the deomcratic turnout overall was weak compared to the avid Trump supporters.

    The article goes deeper than just 2016.  Here's a quote:

    "Lack of voter turnout is a problem in nearly every city, not just every four years, but every year in local elections. According to an analysis from Portland State University, turnout in the nation’s largest 30 cities is a dismal 20 percent of the voting age population."

     

    I couldn't find much hard data, but most articles and data seemed to be of this general consensus

    Over time some cities have  had over 100% voter turnout, do the research, and that is BEFORE the incredibly added incentive to boost the votes by employing the total popular vote.   You eliminate the electoral college the incentive to cheat goes up exponentially.  Just wait til you see the voter turnout in NYC, LA, San Fran, Chicago, Detroit.  They wil magically all be in the 90% if not over 100%.

    Cities lead the nation in many ways, but not in voter turnout
