[quote=Anonymous]There are two things at play. First of all, 5 of 6 delegates flipped from R to D. So it is likely about the national/statewide politics than the candidate. Second, the number of Republicans voting in Governors races has been flat since 2009. Meanwhile, the Democrats have grown from 30,000 votes to 75,000 votes today. What caused the shift? It's not immigration alone, as someone suggested. The growth in voter participation is 56% over the past three elections. But the growth in population is only 33%. That indicates that previous nonvoters are waking up and participating more.[/quote]
