Obama Regains Popular Vote Lead on Surging Turnout in North
Carolina and Indiana
Senator
Barack Obama regained the popular vote lead in his sea-saw battle with former
First Lady Senator Hillary Clinton.
After handily winning North Carolina 875,988 (55.99%) to 652,994 (41.74%),
and narrowly losing Indiana 629,310 (49.43%) to 643,797 (50.57%) Obama’s margin
is now 141,661 out of a grand total of 16,403,787 (48.27%) to Clinton’s
16,262,126 (47.85%).
The big story in the May 6, 2008 primaries, however, is the
surging turnout. The 33,984,989 votes
cast so far in the Democratic presidential primaries is almost 2/3rds (65.89%)
of the 51,576,761 votes cast for John Kerry in the 2004 General Election. After getting off to a roaring start in New
Hampshire where the vote was 83.42% of the Kerry vote, the rest of the
primaries went from a low of 23.98% in Hawaii to a high of 91.91% in
Mississippi. The disputed state of
Michigan was second lowest with 23.98% of Kerry’s vote and Florida, with
48.14%, was 9th from the bottom, ahead of Delaware, Louisiana,
Washington, Connecticut, New York, and New Mexico.
The first state to see its total Democratic primary turnout
exceed 100% of Kerry’s 2004 vote was Texas with 102.76%. Now, both North Carolina with 102.54% and Indiana
with 131.38% have joined Texas. Clearly,
the voters in Indiana turned out to save Hillary Clinton’s campaign. In fact, the 1,273,107 Democratic primary
votes cast in Indiana comes unbelievably close to the 1,479,438 votes Bush
received to decisively beat Kerry in the 2004 General Election.
This is a clear sign that Indiana
can be brought into the Democratic column in 2008, for the first time since
1964. The reason for this is the
draconian photo voter identification law, recently upheld by the Supreme Court,
that disenfranchised scores of people on primary day. While the record turnout belied the
predictions of those who claimed the photo identification would discourage
people from voting, it also proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the photo ID
is a solution in search of a problem.
Obviously, there had been little to no vote fraud under the previous
system, when voter turnout was quanta lower.
In elections where the eligible don’t vote, the ineligible don’t vote,
either.
The bad news for Obama
in the Indiana returns is that they show that Clinton brought out the
voters. In the 12 lowest turnout
counties (compared to Kerry’s 2004 vote) was Obama’s strength. In Monroe County, which Obama carried almost
2 to 1 (65.31%), the turnout was only 107% of Kerry’s 2004 vote. In Marion and Lake Counties, which Obama
carried 66.91% and 56.49% respectively, the turnout was 112% and 114% of
Kerry’s 2004 pace. In St. Joseph County,
which Obama carried by 52.5%, turnout was 120% of Kerry’s vote. These four counties combined account for 40%
of Obama’s vote in Indiana.
On
the other hand, the small counties like Knox, Martin and Clay, which Clinton
carried 2 to 1, saw turnout spikes of 171%, 173%, and 181% of Kerry’s 2004
vote. The message could not be
clearer. It is not the margin by which
Clinton carried Indiana that is significant, it is the fact that she was able
to carry it at all. Clearly, only
Clinton, with Obama as her running mate, stands a chance of carrying Indiana in
the November election. Even worse, it
shows that McCain will carry Indiana handily against Obama. According to the election results, rural
America is not responding to Barack Obama.
In
North Carolina, also, Clinton’s vote rose with turnout. North Carolinians cast 1,564,494 votes in the
primary, 2.54%% higher than Kerry’s statewide total of 1,525,849. As in Indiana, Obama did better when the
turnout was lower. Of Obama’s 222,994
margin over Clinton, 207,138 came from the 1/3rd of the counties
that had fewer Democratic primary votes than Kerry received in 2004. So, 520,162 (59.36%) of Obama’s vote and 313,024
(47.93%) of Clinton’s vote came from these low turnout counties.
In
the 2/3rds of the counties where the Democratic primary vote exceeded Kerry’s
2004 General Election total, Obama received 356,064 to Clinton’s 340,329. In Indiana, all of the counties equaled or
exceeded Kerry’s vote. Even though the
primary turnout was historically high, the turnout in November will be double,
at least.
Much was made before
the primary of the fact that Indiana was an open primary, meaning any voter
could vote in any primary; while North Carolina was a closed primary. The
numbers tell an interesting tale. Even
though North Carolina’s primary was closed, its 26.91% turnout in the
Democratic primary was higher than Indiana’s 25.51%. So, the greater flexibility offered to voters
did not result in a higher turnout.
More
amazingly, even though John McCain is considered the presumptive Republican
nominee, the Republican primary vote in both Indiana and North Carolina was an
almost identical 24.38% and 24.48% respectively of the total primary vote. In other words, the idea that Republican
voters in Indiana might be voting in the Democratic primary for tactical
reasons to pick a weaker candidate for McCain is completely without
foundation. The election returns show
that voters take their votes deadly seriously and will only support candidates
that they really favor. The electorate
takes its votes more seriously than Supreme Court justices.
