Is Democrat voting a vast criminal conspiracy?
Thomas Lifson posted a recent blog piece pointing to some voting statistics reported by the Huffington Post. The gist of the H.P. piece was that Democrat voter turnout was down hugely in those states where voter ID legislation has been enacted – a decline some 285% greater than in states with no voter ID laws, in fact. While it is of course impossible to attribute direct cause and effect with no more proof than that available to us through our own lying eyes, we conservatives who have long advocated for voter identification are entitled to share a few smug eye rolls and some muttered told-you-sos.
If the Democrat voter turnout trend continues through the general election to be significantly lower only in those states where voter ID laws have been recently enacted, you can bet the farm the Democrat leadership will be tap-dancing all over the place to find whatever other possible explanation they can. That may be easier for them if their presidential candidate loses, for they can then blame lack of voter interest due to poor candidate performance. However, that still won't explain away the differential in voter turnout between states with no voter ID laws, where turnout remains relatively unchanged, and those states where voter ID was recently enacted and the vote declined significantly.

Very interesting.

They have to wait until after more states have closed primaries. Can they be sure fewer democrats are voting, or have they just been voting in the republican primaries in the open states so far?

This of course is why Trump is doing so well in the primary, and establishment republicans think it's a good idea to have democrats vote in republican primaries.........or at least they did until this election.
Will the republican party insist on "closed" primaries in the future ? :-)

The GOP excels at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Illinois virtually has an "open" primary.
