All leftists are whining about how voter turnout was down this year, and that’s why they got their asses kicked in the mid-term election. Problem for leftists is that facts are a stubborn thing. Voter turnout as actually up over 1010 levels in key states like North Carolina, Montana, Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, Colorado, Iowa and New Hampshire. In key governors races in states like Florida, Wisconsin and Maine, voter turnout was also higher than 2010 levels. But let’s now confuse the poor progressive liberals with actual facts. Check out this tweet from a whiny ABC:

Hey ABC and lefties, not all states had important elections. Also, propositions in each’s states ballots drove turnout, and not every state that anything important worth voting for. The key states had higher voter turnout over 2010 and that’s all that matters. Sorry ABC.
Take for instance California. Voter turnout was down 9.2% from 2010 levels. They had no senator up for re-election and everyone in the state knew Moonbeam Jerry Brown was going to win easily. What’s the point of voting in California?

Oh wait, I know. It’s that ‘voter suppression’ thing right?
