OK, let me process this.
You are saying (based on voter registration info) that more D’s voted in this referendum than R’s? Correct?
If so, it is shameful so many didn’t vote. However, most (admittedly anecdotal) evidence I’ve accumulated in my life tells me that most people who call themselves conservative and vote for R candidates over D candidates still want abortion legal but restricted. Sometimes severely so.
More of these referendums will come so we will know the true thoughts soon enough (unless those become rigged too).
>> You are saying (based on voter registration info)
Not the registration info, but that actual turnout. And yes, it looks like the Ds voted to “uphold”, and the Rs not. The percentages are nearly a perfect match.
>> If so, it is shameful so many didn’t vote.
Indeed, and it’s an ongoing problem. The GOP machinery sucks. Trump filled that void. But he can’t be everywhere.
Ballot measures can be sneaky things. Any political expert that knows voting behavior could have predicted this outcome. And that’s why the GOP machinery should be held accountable for this intentional failure.
