Nervous Doubt?
Ben Cardin sure is interested in voter turnout for somebody whose campaign is co confident of his imminent victory.
I think that Cardin is fundamentally right in the fact that this general election could turn out to be a fiasco is solely for the reason that voter turnout will be higher than the primary sheerly due to he mechanics of it being a general election. But to wrap his concerns around the fact that turnout might be depressed is a very interesting way to note it. Seems like nervous doubt to me...
Of course, higher turnout elections tend to favor Democrats. The lower the turnout, the better the chance of a GOP win, particularly in a blue state like Maryland.U.S. Senate candidate Benjamin L. Cardin yesterday voiced a lack of confidence in Maryland's voting system and worried that the problems that plagued the primary election could discourage voters from turning out in November.
"I am not convinced that they know how to run this election so that voters will not be inconvenienced to a point where they don't participate," Cardin (D) said during an interview with Washington Post reporters and editors.
