Turnout will be everything

Advertisements [?]

The highest turnout we ever had in our town (82%) was in 1992 when Clinton beat Bush41 in my town by about 600 votes (out of about 8,000 votes cast). That might sound like no big deal but my town is Republican and in the previous 4 presidential elections the Republican (Ford, Reagan, Reagan, Bush41) had taken the town by about the same margin) so the turnout resulted in a turnaround of 1,200 votes. Turnouts in those years that Repubs won was between 40-55%.

I live in a burb about 5 miles NW of the George Washington Bridge in Bergen County, NJ
