Does anyone know what the turnout % was in the GA 6 election? (Original Post) redstateblues Apr 2017 OP
43% turnout unc70 Apr 2017 #1
We've got to do better than that to win redstateblues Apr 2017 #2
Not so sure unc70 Apr 2017 #3
That makes sense. Ideally if we could increase Democratic turnout redstateblues Apr 2017 #5
If only we had a director of outreach, or something. n/t Orsino Apr 2017 #4

Turnout is key to a victory, but I don't know how high is best for Dems in that district. You want high turnout for Dems, but not for Repubs. 43% is already pretty high for a special election; I doubt the runoff will be that high. Our best hope might be for some Repub voters to be discouraged.
