Talked to Evelyn Murray at the GOP HQ in Grafton last week.. she said approx. 85% turnout is needed from York County to help offset NN and Hampton. Do you think we`re there?
I know Evelyn and I think she’s being cautious. We may not need 85% if Democratic turnout in NN and Hampton is down, and clearly, enthusiasm is on our side this time around. Having said that, I think we’ll be very close to the 85% mark. Based on the turnout I witnessed at 7 am, it’s nothing compared to 2008, when a GOP voter could breeze into/out of the polls in 10 minutes.
I’ll post another update later, when my wife and daughter go to vote. If the lines are still long at mid-morning or early afternoon, we’ll max our turnout, no question. As I said earlier, the “broken glass Republicans” are out in droves. Lot of folks who’ve been waiting four years to kick Obama out of office and they’ll be at the polls no matter how long the lines are.
