I keep saying this... be prepared for voter turnout to be down compared to 2020.

The reason voter turnout was so good was emergency covid restrictions pushing vote by mail.

Without those restrictions, vote by mail will be down and turnout will be down.

Yeah but here's the thing, a lot of those states where people were gonna vote by mail that are now cracking down, are actually just gonna be depressing turnout among elderly folks who are stuck in home care

A lot of states have abortion and/or cannabis on the ballot as a motivation.

Let's hope that's a motivator!
