Republicans Have A Massive Turnout Advantage In 2022 Primaries So Far: Report
DailyWire ^ | 18-MAY-2022 | John Rigolizzo

Republicans are already seeing a huge advantage in turnout during the 2022 primaries, according to one pollster.

In Tuesday’s primary elections in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Kentucky, Idaho, and Oregon, Republicans made up 54.9% of the total votes cast, according to John Couvillon, founder of the polling firm JMC Analytics. When factoring in the other five states that have already held primaries — Texas, Indiana, Ohio, Nebraska, and West Virginia, Republicans account for fully 60% of votes cast in the primaries so far.

"News of a Republican turnout advantage is the latest warning sign for Democrats that a Republican “red wave” election is coming in November. An internal poll of highly competitive battleground districts conducted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee found that the generic Republican candidate is leading the generic Democratic candidate by an 8-point margin, as The Daily Wire reported. “Given that Democrats generally have a three or four-point built-in advantage on the generic ballot, this is a particularly concerning development for Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s majority,” Punchbowl News noted. Thirty-two House Democrats have already resigned or announced they won’t be running for re-election so far this year, the most since 1992, Reuters reported."

It would be, but after 2020, I’m unsure of what proportion of Democrat votes are cast by actual living, breathing, sentient human beings.

Pubs have to turn out massively to make up for the corrupt mail in votes.

Be careful writing too much into this..

Man states have highly contested major races in the GOP side, and nothing on the Dem Side...

PA is a perfect example of this.

Highly contested primary Senate Race, Democrat side the Primary was all but a foregone conclusion for all statewide races.

Party out of power is always more energized, so GOP should have, historically, greater turnout this fall regardless... but don’t think Dems are going to sit home... they are largely an emotional reactive lot... they have them riled into a frenzy by November.

Duh!

It's a no-brainer as to why.

Why would anybody bother to go out and agree to have somebody take their lunch and eat it too?

Democrats under Biden, are destroying everything that matters to people, and those people include all democrats and all republicans and everyone else. Why go out and support the disaster that democrats are imposing on the country?

As far as primary turnout is concerned, how much can be read into that in open primary states, where Democrats can effortlessly cross over into Republican contests?

Even for closed primary states like PA where there are important competitive primaries on the R side and nothing but foregone conclusions on the D side, there’s always “Operation Chaos” in reverse.

The RINOs in Ohio (as just one example) were begging Democrats to cross over and vote for liberal Republicans like Dolan, and so they did. Democrats in Texas voted in the Republican primary in order to try to hurt AG Ken Paxton — they succeeded into forcing him into a runoff (every little bit of damage now helps the Rats in November) even though he will win that runoff without breaking a sweat.

There’s lots of Democrat crossover everywhere, e.g. they still hope to save Liz Cheney that way. They also hope to eliminate Lauren Boebert (and maybe MTG) that way.

Therefore the Republican “turnout advantage” numbers in some places, while probably not totally an illusion, is still heavily polluted with Democrats.

DEMOCRAT RESPONSE:
1. If only the Democrats were better at getting their message out, people would love them and they would win.
2. If only Democrats would tout their accomplishments, people would love them and they would win.
3. If only the deplorables and right wing extremists weren’t so stupid, they would see how great the Democrats are and they would win.

There is all this Happy Talk around about Republican tsunamis and waves and floods in November.

Remember to save a few brain cells to consider what happens if the Dems KEEP the House, the Senate, and the Presidency.
If no big fat R-wave happens, or gets countered by either voter fraud, or amazing unanticipated events.]

Never assume.

“An internal poll of highly competitive battleground districts conducted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee found that the generic Republican candidate is leading the generic Democratic candidate by an 8-point margin”

These districts probably have an incumbent who is running and many have an obvious challenger or, if the primary has been held, a KNOWN challenger.

So why “generic” polling? Would the results be even worse for the Democrats if the Rat pollster mentioned specific names — like the name of the Democrat incumbent who is supposedly at serious risk of being ousted?

It's a miracle! It's Speedy's first post if forever about something that didn't involve Russia or the war in Ukraine.

If there was ever a concession that the Russians are winning in Ukraine, this is it!

Why do they think they’re accelerating the invaders invasion? They’re trying to wipe out our votes with those illegals coming in. If you think they are not being registered as they immediately cross over then I’ve got a bridge from California to Hawaii to sell to you. These evil globalist POS are always one step ahead of us. The catholic overseers are making sure of it! $$$$$$ You see they cannot use the same method they used to steal the election from President Trump, we are wiser for it now, so now they’re importing real live breathing walking bodies to vote! Believe me they’re one step ahead they even have the courts and the judges at this early stage already lined up to permit those walking bodies to cast votes. Like Bannon said,”don’t think for one minute they’re going relinquish their power without a fight!” Unfortunately the RNC and that lazy comatose fat nasty *itch chairwoman are ALL asleep at the wheel. These people are evil and are from the pit of hell in embodied!
