c. voting technology
d. electoral fraud

The answer is the A) Voter turnout.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can added that the passage is referring to the electoral participation, or turnout, in a particular state, which, as officials from that state reported, was not very high. More specifically, the passage reveals that the number of senior citizens that voted continued to be high. but turnout was lower than usual among a specific group of voters (some information is missing after "voters under") and low among several minority groups.
