Bitter Cat Ladies turn out in higher numbers than working people. It’s a fact.
Again, I have worked this same polling station now for over a decade, I have worked every primary, every special election and every general election.
This was by far the lowest turnout and by far the biggest differential between Dems and GOP in turnout that I have worked.
In person 70 votes, 28 GOP, 42 Democrats.. Mail in 34 total votes.. 31 D, 3 GOP.
Mail in difference of nearly 10 to 1, statewide this is about a 6 to 1 delta. Off the top of my head not sure what previous mail ins have been, but Dems almost always win that, though I think 10 to 1 is outside the norm for this district. So I wouldn’t sound the alarm over that by itself, but total:
73D votes to 31 GOP votes, is beyond lopsided for this district. I pay far more attention to in person numbers as that’s what I do all day is help folks actually vote... And 42 to 28 is WAY low for the GOP side, while the total of 70 is low overall, had it been its typical 50/50 split, that would have been 84 in person votes, which would be a little lower than than lowest I can recall, but only by a handful of votes... only pulling 2/3 of the Dem in person vote is definitely a noticeable deviation from the norm, even in a slow uncontested primary.
I am not concluding anything, just offering it up as a data point.
