Reply #17: Dems aren't the only ones who watch Democratic primary turnout numbers.

A good turnout is a message to all that those same voters - regardless of their primary choice - are likely to vote in the general election. And will vote Democratic.

There was a local take a friend to the poll movement in my area one primary. A "safe" introduction to people who don't vote/haven't voted recently/get confused with long ballots is an uncontested primary.

And, even an uncontested primary is a good way to prime the pump for the general election. (I'm all for establishing a voting "habit" in the electorate. Kudos to your district for such a great turnout percentage.)
