That statistic wins the prize for the most misinterpreted of the week (although the conclusion doesn’t change). The Dem turnout was 87% of what it was in 2016. The Republican turnout was 40% of what it was in 2016. The conclusion remains: the Pubs better wake up and GOTV.
What they don’t mention is that the statewide uncontested gov primary races had a big differential. Repubs had 130,000 more voters show up to the polls on primary day.
