In most states, the numbers are shaping up to be even lower than in 2004, said Curtis Gans, director of American University’s Center for the Study of the American Electorate.

It’s hard to believe and something does seem gravely wrong with the election results. It truly makes no sense. Report after report from voting sites mentioned never before seen crowds or used adjectives like “massive.” Yet the turnout was down? NY and NJ, sure, but elsewhere? Logic requires that if the overall vote was down and Republican vote up (by anecdotal evidence), Democrat votes had to be down. Yet Obama wins even more states that expected?
I was so hopeful yesterday with HUGE turnout reports. I’m shocked and sad.
