Lessons from the red wave that wasn’t.
. . ."Why did expectations beat Republicans so decisively on Tuesday?
5. Dems Vote on 30 Election Days, Republicans Vote on 1
"The math of encouraging our side to vote on one day while the other side uses over a month in some cases to ensure that its people cast ballots predictably gifts the other side an advantage. Democrats bested Republicans in early and mail-in ballots by 44 percent to 30 percent in New Hampshire, 69 percent to 21 percent in Pennsylvania, and 49 percent to 29 in Michigan. In Florida, where Ron DeSantis went out of his way to encourage early voting and Republicans administered an educational beatdown to Democrats, the GOP won the early and mail-in vote by 43 percent to 37 percent. Principle does not require conservatives who lament turning Election Day into Election Month from instructing supporters to not mark ballots on all but the last day of voting; stupidity does.
4. Hyper-politicized Is the New Normal
"The people who politicize late-night comedy, sports, awards shows, and story hour at the local library, who boycott this cereal for where it advertises and that fast-food chain for the causes one of its owners once supported, naturally all vote. So long as this total-politics mindset — which its beneficiary, Joe Biden, ironically addressed Wednesday in saying that Americans “don’t want every day going forward to be a constant political battle” — prevails, kiss off the idea that in-power Democrats will take the foot off the gas during midterm elections.
