I guess I was wrong on turnout

[Proud liberal 80]

I thought greater turnout favored the Dems, but there was high turnout all over the place and it actually looked to benefit Republicans. I talking more about Senate and House.

1. Trump supporters it turns out are slightly more rabid than we anticipated

Also this was a unique situation AFA 'turnout' goes, assuming you're talking about people who showed up on Election Day at the polls.

4. Well

you know what they do to rabid dogs

2. I think it's safe to say that both sides were fired up! And this leads to high turnout.

This is really a good thing, overall.

I just wish that the republican voters were more well educated than they obviously are.

5. Half the electorate can't separate fact from fiction.

That’s gonna be a big problem going forward.

7. But I wrongly thought Republicans had reached their ceiling in 2016

And there weren't anymore of their voters left to come out.

3. Myth busted.

High turnout doesn’t always disproportionately benefit us.

6. Just depends where the turn out is

[LakeArenal]

8. Well, I was more confident in turnout.

But I’m glad I didn’t spend weeks hand wringing.

9. There was high early turnout - but we didn't get the rest of our voters to the polls

Reports last night were that the Cleveland turnout (overall) was lower than 2016.

10. I have a theory

That everyone is on COVID time and has much more control of their own schedule. Either not working or working from home, etc. Could have given people a lot more flexibility to vote.
