The really engaged people sure are going to turn out no matter what, but turnout in the US is low at the best of times, what percentage of voters are highly engaged, and how many spend most their lives not paying much attention to politics?
Plus who knows how easy it will be to even vote. Kentucky closed over 3500 polling stations so only 170 were open for the primaries. The entire city of Louisville had just one polling station.
States where Republicans can control which regions of the state get their polling stations slashed (say areas with black voters) and which don't could hold much more sway over results than normal.
After waiting 8 hours in line to vote some people are going to leave, and is there any bias as to who leaves more.
Just feels like there could be a lot of risk in this area.
