From Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger:
It has been said that a large turnout benefits Democrats. That is true. It is true because there are more Democrats (50%) among registered voters than Republicans (42%).
So, how is it that Republicans have done so well in the last couple of off-year elections (2010 and 2014)? They did well because their voters went to the polls and too many Democrats didn’t bother to vote.
