Uhm, there are more Democrats then Republicans. Oversampling them isn’t wrong, in fact it’s what they should do. The question is, by how much should the oversample them.
If it’s by 5 points, then that’s ok. If it’s by 10 points, then its not. But this country isn’t split Republicans and Democrats....there are more Democrats so they should be oversampled.
There are more Democrats, because of:
Young People (18-25) - Only 10-15% of these people usually vote. This is true even with increases of them registering to vote.
Operation Chaos - During the nomination process, after it was clear McCain would be the Republican nominee, Rush Limbaugh encouraged Republicans to reregister as Democrats so they could vote for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries. This caused the DNC nomination process to be dragged out.
While there are technically more Democrats than Republicans, this difference is really simply an illusion.
Nice try, but you are wrong. In 2004, 37% of the final vote was Democrats and 37% was Republicans. Despite the Democrat's edge in registration, Republicans equaled their number in turnout. Why shouldn't that happen again this year?
