Midterms are traditionally low turnout. What the RW and their enablers (Kochs, etc) have been doing for decades is finding hot buttons to push to arouse a few reliable groups to turn out and now control many of the local, county, and state governments with a very limited number of votes.

That's the reason a lot of states have their races in the off years. They can tailor their messages locally or against the "Big Government" without having to deal with national coattails. A smaller "likely" electorate favors the issues candidate with a hard core following.

The problem this year is the same as in any midterm, it's easy for the outs to criticize the ins and run against the failings of DC in general as personified by the sitting Prez.

Our problem is making it clear to our voters and others how important every race is to turn us toward the light, but it's hard when lies and deceit are the underlying basis for our opponents.
