    The argument doesn’t make sense. Historically, higher turnouts have helped Democrats more so than Republicans, but that’s due to the particular politics of the elections in question. It’s not some absolute rule. Plus it depends a lot on where the higher than normal turnout occurs. Hitting 95% turnout in New York and California won’t do shit.

      Also ignores all the voter suppression both parties are happy to do, which usually is targeted towards the younger voters. No wonder they have low turnout when they do their best to keep them from voting
