A question about Primary turnout
Louisiana is expecting a 15% turnout tomorrow per the SECSTATE's office. That sounds bad and does not show well for the state BUT

Will it make a difference in the final result? For instance if the turnout is 20% or 80% would candidate A get 56% of the vote and candidate B get 44% of the vote in both cases? And would the more conservative candidate win conservative districts regardless of the turnout, likewise for liberal districts? I'm just getting in touch with my inner statistician. He's always asking questions.

1. How many Katrina victims have returned?
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 11:47 AM by LiberalFighter
How many newly registered voters will vote in both the Primary and General election?
How many will just vote in the Primary?

How much does the Primary foretell in what happens in the General Election.

Answer to the last question is NONE.


Oh and the 15% is that of those they have on record as registered or those of the eligible voting age?
