Yep, that is exactly what it is.
.
After years and years of folks looking at the R/D/I splits in terms of D+x, the past few weeks people have started using this stat.
In 2002- was the gap between D (38) and R (32) a 6% gap.. I haven’t seen any of you saying that 19% more Dems than Repubs voted. Would you say it was 6% more or 19% more. If 19%, than this lol is 19%, and they are using close to the model used in ‘12 (you cam dispute the turnout model, but not the numbers)
If you want to compare apples to oranges, and say the gap was 6% last time and 19% this time, feel free. Whatever makes you feel good inside
