INSIGHT

Special Elections Are Turnout Tests

  • Special elections are turnout battles where enthusiasm matters more than persuasion.
  • Low turnout can drastically change expected margins even in non-persuasive districts.
ADVICE

Build Turnout Infrastructure Now

  • Invest in turnout infrastructure and boots-on-the-ground organizing before a red state becomes competitive.
  • Build a dominant get-out-the-vote apparatus preemptively rather than after a crisis emerges.
