Even if the two precincts that haven’t voted favor Shatz, Hanabusa is wise to try to ensure a higher turnout: she’s down by 1,600 votes, and unless she has reason to believe that there was a problem with the count in the rest if the state that, if corrected, will make up the deficit, she somehow needs to net 1,600 votes in those two precincts, which is easier done with a turnout of 20,000 (where she would need 54% of the vote) than with a turnout of 10,000 (where she would need 58%).
Yes, you’re right.
According to this article there are only 6,800 registered voters in these 2 precincts. If turnout is too light she’d screwed even if it was her territory.
