    While you’re not without a very valid point, I still have to wonder if the turnout issue was due to the crushing of the popular democratic progressive candidate in favor of the status quo candidate.

    EDIT: I should also call out the “Hillary’s got it in the bag, no need for me to get the polls” folks also. But if I’m honest I felt the steam go out of the populous when HRC became the nominee. It didn’t all happen election night.

      I believe that had a larger impact as well. I’m just familiar with the partisan primary problem from volunteering that year. Many registered independents or no party affiliation voters were pissed they couldn’t vote in NY. I’m sure that happened elsewhere too.

          I just distributed people into lines to keep them the same length. Far from heroic. I think they replaced me with orange cones when I went home. Lol
