A commenter and Henry have pointed to Michael McDonald’s website for the 130 million number on turnout, but McDonald’s numbers are estimates and so far, the actual votes being reported are coming up far short. For example, McDonald estimates 14.9 million votes for CA, but with 95 of precincts reporting, the NYT has a vote total of under 10 million. In Illinois, McDonald estimates 5.4 million, but the NYT totals has it at just over 5.0 million. The same is true for most other states. I’m sure that the reported total will change a bit with updates and adjustments, but nothing on the order of 10 to 15 million votes.
