Show me some facts on how many Calif FReepers did not vote regardless of what they post on threads.

Remember, I want facts not innuendo...

You won't get it because they don't exist...and certainly not from this study.

The best they have to offer (that I'm aware of) is exit poll info and as another FReeper has already pointed out, you might as well pull random numbers from a Bingo machine.

CA ELECTION AFTERMATH: Republican voters didn't show up at the polls


http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1736379/posts


Although the final totals won't be known for weeks, election day turnout in Fresno, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and SanDiego counties, which all have Republican pluralities, ran as much as 10 percentage points below the state's 44 percent average turnout.

"The turnout in Republican counties was low compared to the turnout in counties where Democrats hold the edge,'' said Patrick Dorinson, a spokesman for the state Republican Party. "The conservative Republican base didn't show up.''

Without that anticipated flood of votes from places such as Orange County and the Inland Empire, Tuesday was a long night for most of the statewide Republican candidates not named Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"It came as a surprise,'' admitted Stan Devereaux, a spokesman for Republican state Sen. Tom McClintock, who lost the lieutenant governor's race to Democratic Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi. "We kept looking at the returns through the night and thought we had a chance, but when the returns (from Republican counties) came in, we didn't get the turnout we expected.''
