Lower turnout generally means fewer Democrats and about the same Republicans.
The way citizens are registered makes a big difference in turnout. If you’re cornered on the way into a market to be registered as a Democrat, are you going to be as likely to show up and vote as you would be if you sought out a way to register Republican?
Republican voters go to the polls. Conservatives always show up.
So if California’s expected vote is down 10%, guess what. That means that the Democrat candidates can expect about 10% less vote than last time. And the Conservative candidates can expect about the same vote, perhaps a bit less.
There’s going to be a lot of whining tonight. Conservative causes are gong to show a lot better than the Left is going to like.
Heh, heh, heh...
I know we will go blue, but really hoping these numbers help Prop 32 pass.
“Republican voters go to the polls. Conservatives always show up.”
Except they didnt.
The REAL election shocker was this: Fewer people voted for Romney than McCain. 56 million versus 59 million.
Obama had a 10 million vote dropoff.
Why didnt we get those McCain voters ALL out to vote?!?
If Romney had gotten the same number of votes as McCain, he’d have been elected.
