The real story last night was the number of
Democrats who came out to vote as opposed to the number of Republicans. It was a phenomenal turnout.

7. Pretty sure that's not true.
It used to be about even, but lately Dems have increased and I think Independents may outnumber Repubs now.

But it's just false to say that there are three times more Dems than Repubs.
