Daily Kos: Republican turnout woes intensify
Daily Kos: Republican turnout woes intensify
Turnout was improved in Ohio (understandable given the massive effort by Romney and Santorum—same as Michigan), North Dakota and quite significantly in Vermont. Apparently, Vermont Republicans are terrified of getting Santorum as their nominee. Ohio actually had woeful early voting numbers, which means election-day turnout was disproportionately strong, a function of the great deal of attention given to the race in the state. You'd almost be forgiven for thinking nothing else was on the ballot.
But those were the only bright spots, with turnout down everywhere else, including some pretty significant collapses. And let's not forget that 1) the GOP nomination was long over at this point in 2008, with John McCain sewing up the nomination early. This year, there's still a race in progress. And 2) Those numbers include Ron Paul supporters, who aren't likely to support the war mongering GOP in November.

The GOP’s Enthusiasm Gap | The Nation
The GOP’s Enthusiasm Gap The Nation
But in this year’s GOP presidential primary, it’s the Republicans who are deflated. GOP turnout has been down in every state that’s voted so far compared to 2008 except for in South Carolina. Last night’s contests represented a particularly bad night for the GOP. In Missouri, 249,000 people voted in the GOP primary last night, compared to 588,000 Republicans in 2008 and 827,000 Democrats. In Minnesota, 48,000 people voted last night, compared to 63,000 Republicans in 2008 and 214,00 Democrats. In Colorado, 65,000 people voted last night, compared to 70,000 Republicans in 2008 and 121,000 Democrats.
One of the more interesting things, barely reported, is Republican turnouts are down in nearly every state. What that means, who can say?
