Enthusiasm Gap: GOP Turnout Trounced Dems in Ohio Primary
5 May 2022
CLAY: Buck, I have a little bit of a data thing here that I meant to mention yesterday. We were talking about JD Vance and the impact that he had winning that hotly contested overall battle. How about turnout? Republican turnout increased by 13% since the 2018 midterms in Ohio. They had, Republicans did, nearly 700,000 more primary voters than Democrats. Why is that significant? It’s about enthusiasm, and I know it was a real battle on the Republican side in the Senate, but Democrats only got 32% of the overall vote in Ohio.
BUCK: Just think about this: If someone told me, “Hey, you have to go stand in a voting line for six hours, but if you vote, you don’t ever have to wear a mask again anywhere,” Clay, I would get out a little camping chair, might roast some marshmallows, whatever. I’d be out there all six hours, man. I’m motivated.
CLAY: A hundred percent.
