    No, it is necessarily true, according to the data lol. The higher the voter turnout, the more left wing candidates win. I don’t doubt that what you say is true at some level, but it doesn’t happen enough to affect the trend of higher voter turnout = more left wing wins.

      This has changed. Look at the propensity switch. Low propensity voters back trump by higher margins than high propensity voters since 2020.

      Hence why Democrats dominate low turnout special elections these days

        A couple counterexamples doesn’t mean the trend across all elections has changed. And that’s what I’m talking about - the trend across all elections.
