The Great Valley Democrats want to thank all of our volunteers and voters who made this year’s primary election such a success.
BAD NEWS FIRST
Turn Out Dropped
Comparing identical elections, eg; 4 years ago compared to today – Great Valley’s numbers are down.
GOOD NEWS
More Dems Voted Than Republicans
Typically a low turnout overall means that Dems don’t come out in high numbers. But this election we out-voted Republicans in our zone despite the low number of ballots cast.
MORE GOOD NEWS
High Mail-In Ballot Return Rate
It’s one thing to request a mail-in ballot – but it’s another to actually mail it back. Considering that more Democrats tend to request a mail-in ballot than Republicans – a high return rate of mail-in ballots is incredibly important for Democratic votes.
