MODERATORS
is there any data on registered voter turnout in a handful of counties where it really mattered? Because that would tell you whether or not the discrepancy is due to democrats simply not voting, a well known problem within the democratic party.
Per Ballotopedia: "The average turnout in the seven presidential battleground states was 70% in 2024. This was below the 2020 average, which was 70.7%. "
One additional thing....Trump won every battleground, but somehow Democrats won pretty much every down ballot race in those states. I don't believe for a second that someone voting Democrat down the board is going to vote Trump...a few voters will sure, but not enough to swing nearly every down ballot race....that's absurd.
