But the results are another hint that Democratic voters are motivated to show up in low-turnout elections -- a trend that could prove decisive in November's midterm elections.

True. Except that November isn't likely to be a low-turnout election.

“True. Except that November isn’t likely to be a low-turnout election.”

Most of the races they won in they PURPOSELY had the media keep it under the radar, and then the Dems used their back-channel methods to let their people know that there was an election and to get out and vote. About the only one that was high profile was Roy Moore, and that was not a wave election either...it was an idiot who didn’t know how to answer a question.

The Dems will find keeping the November elections a secret a bit more challenging, to say the least.

Yes, and that’s great for Deep Red states and districts, but its a disaster for purple and pink districts....

Dems will show up at near Presidential year levels, and the GOP has shown it isn’t likely to get better than typical midterm turnouts...

GOP is losing the house this fall, short of the DEMS openly running on impeachment, because the GOP is not even talking to the non traditional MAGA voter, let alone giving them a reason to care and show up in the fall.

7 Congressional districts in California alone that are currently R were won by Hillary in 16... and I fully expect 10 or more seats in the upper midwest to flip to blue as well... The GOP is on path to lose the house... they don’t understand the electorate and are flat out incompetent.
