Millions of Reasons for Hope
November 11, 2010 - by
Here’s some tonic for Democrats depressed about last week’s elections.
In North Carolina North Carolinians voted – a 70 percent turnout. That’s a drop of 1.6 million voters.
Nationally, 75 million people voted last year. In 2008, 130 million Americans voted. A dropoff of 55 million.
So there are still plenty of Democratic votes out there.
Two problems:
- They didn’t vote this time. Will they next time?
-
Democrats still lost a lot of Independents and Democrats this time.
