“Americans are voting this year for Democrats at far higher numbers in primaries and special elections compared with previous contests, evidence that voters are unusually motivated heading into November,” the Washington Post reports.

“Turnout is rising in Democratic primaries even when they aren’t hotly contested and the nominee has little chance of winning in the general election, according to the Post review of 990 races, over three cycles, in 25 states.”

“In over 90 percent of Democratic House primaries held this year, voters cast more ballots than during 2022, when Republicans flipped the House.”
