Subject: Re: the GOP hasn't received the memo
"Research suggests bad weather on Election Day tends to favor Republican candidates by reducing voter turnout, particularly among demographics that lean Democratic. Studies indicate that rain or snow disproportionately deters, or acts as a barrier for, Democratic-leaning voters, while Republican supporters are often more resilient or reliable in navigating poor conditions, according to The Journalist's Resource and this Dartmouth study.

Key points on this topic include:

Impact on Voter Turnout: Studies show that for every inch of rain, Republican candidates receive roughly 2.5% more of the vote, notes The Journalist's Resource. For every inch of snow, the Republican vote share increases by about 0.6%.

Voter Behavior: Lower-income and minority voters, who are more likely to support Democrats, are more sensitive to the increased "cost" of voting in bad weather, according to Politico."


It looks like Trump is going to announce a cloud seeding program for early November for key districts in the country.

I think I say that in jest, but then I realize what happens when he hears of the cited report.........
