Interesting analysis – and valid and agree when one looks at the bigger picture, it is different than what Sherlock was focusing on.
Seems odd, that more total registrations don’t actually necessarily lead to higher turnouts.
Is that true in general for all states?
-
It leads to higher turnouts in absolute terms, but not necessarily in relation to the increase in the number of people registered. Look at the second link I provided. It is an analysis of the effect of adding automatic voter registration in several states.

right, which is counter-intuitive … and makes
one wonder how effective voter registration drives actually are.My bet is that if people COULD vote – on their phones and the window was 60 days – “turnout” would increase dramatically.
It could be done quite safely with two-factor authentication/biometrics.. It’s not impossible to defeat two-factor authentication but it’s pretty tough.

All fair points, Dick. The turnout math is about both the numerator and the denominator. No question in my mind the early voting has really expanded turnout. But Sherlock is dead on correct that all the whining about the Georgia law was groundless, as a hot election yesterday brought a great turnout (and a rebuke to you know who.)

And will the MSM hound Rob Manfred, commissioner of MLB, for moving the All Star Game from Atlanta?
Issues motivate people to vote.
-
When MLB and Delta did their thing, didn’t Georgia back off the prospective voting restrictions?
-
The Georgia bill was signed into law on March 25, 2021, and MLB moved the All Star game on April 2. Manfred blew it and should resign or be asked to by the owners.

Wait. Are you guys saying Trump actually didn’t win the last election? Somebody better inform many of the Republican candidates around the country.
-
1) He lost. 2) He did it to himself, which is the hardest thing for him to accept and 3) His monomania on that one point, his continued claims it was totally fraud, his one-element loyalty test, may yet destroy the Republican Party’s chances in November. I’m done tiptoeing around the point.

I think when a large number of GOP voters believe him – that the problem is way more than just him. Candidates are actually representing constituents with these views.
But no worries, the conspiracy theory GOP voters line up at the polls with the rest of the more traditional GOP voters. They all vote the same no matter………. so no harm no foul….
So, entirely true that the GOP… HAS been taken over by the wackadoddles…. way better than voting for leftists and progressives….

1) Not in the minds of most Republicans, nor on the lips of the elected ilk.
2) Not without assistance of a Republican side of the Senate who voted acquittal.
3) Great! Good for you. Now convince just one of the two other Republicans who are still on their tiptoes. -
You are correct, Trump lost the election. Biden ran as a competent seasoned Moderate who would bring the country together, but he has been anything but. The Left can talk all they want about Republicans “wackadoodles” (reference Larry’s comment), but it is really the Left that has gone of the Progressive deep end. They are just in simple denial of the fact many Americans are well aware of.

Here’s our moron president talking about addressing “gun control” with background checks and regulating (which the monster passed) and regulating firearms based on what they look like (assault rifles). But then, he believes in protecting important rights with emanations and penumbras, rather than with laws like most nations do.

1 & 2 for sure, 3 maybe he can turn it by himself, but not likely.
There is you know currently a very prominent unpopular soft in the head Dem named Biden and his brain dead virtue signal sidekick to offset Trump, the Dems are down about a half dozen seats in redistricting, and 32, yes count ’em 32, Dems in the House are not running for re-election. Inflation, recession by election day, and the price of gas could have an impact too.
That’s a big hole for even Trump to fill although I have no doubt he will try. Not to put too fine a point on it you might also ask McAuliffe how running against Trump worked out for him.

That’s a relief.

The State of North Carolina estimated that the turnout for the recent primary elections (both parties) was about 20%.
