Long time experienced political operators, common joe voters, all claiming that that the turnout was the biggest they had ever seen and yet the numbers were down.
WERE THEY ALL JUST IMAGINING THAT?
Something just does not smell right!!!

Yes, there were imagining that. People see what they want to see, especially the political operators, who are paid to spin and pretend. The Dems saw the great signs in 2004, the GOP was spinning in 2012.
Perhaps Kerry-Romney can run a join loser ticket in 2016? But who is on the top of the ticket, and who is on the bottom?
Some precincts were combined ~ some were divided to fit those lines just so. Not at all surprising to hear about the enlarged precincts getting more folks ~
My precinct shows a 50% voter increase over 2008. However, it's the same as it was during the 1990s during an earlier districting scheme that put my neighborhood in the evil Rep Moran's district. We were just put back into that district, so we end up with about the same number we had back then.
The precincts with fewer voters than last time aren't news ~ but they exist!
