7. Some actual numbers and a caveat.

Super voters are usually defined as people who have voted in x consecutive elections, including both primaries and general elections. I will stick with the primary only method of selecting likely voters for the sake of simplicity. The general point should be obvious. In my area, primary super voters who voted in 3 consecutive primaries (2010, 2012, 2014) prior to the 2014 general election accounted for 16.6% of the votes in the general election. Using an easier standard to select "likely voters"- those who voted in the 2 immediately preceding primaries yields these results: 2012, 18.5% and 2014, 22.4%.
