in modern day elections. If there was equal turnout of both Democrats and Republicans republicans would still win. They cheat. We don't. Blaming Democrats for not winning under these conditions is ridiculous. First the public has to understand the odds. Blame the leaders for not educating the public. 20 years ago I had no understanding of the lengths these crooks would go to. Expecting 100% Democratic turnout? SMH.
