Voter Turnout - Any guesses?
I'm thinking it will be much lower than last time. Somewhere around 54%.
Thoughts? |
It's anyone's guess. Normally, I'd say that you were pretty close but early voting has been unexpectedly high. I think we may also see a higher than normal Democratic turnout as sort of backlash against the Republican voter suppression efforts. I hope my intuition is reliable and I hope the machines "behave".

I'm hoping to be surprised. I'd love to see a much higher turnout then that. With everything that was happening in 2008, I think it hit 58. I can't imagine it being close to that, but again, I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.

That all said, I think we will see a slightly higher turnout than in 2008. Everyone that I talk to is fired up, (lefties, of course). Other than my stoner teabagging neighbor and Pete, I don't really know any wrongies. |
In my part of the country, Southern Indiana, Louisville Kentucky area early voting has been very high. Plus a higher amount of absentee ballots requested. I plan on going around 0700 with the wife. I think it will be a large turnout fraught with delays and problems in a number of areas throughout the country.
