This whole talk about “Shift” in voting doesn’t make any sense to me if republicans had less turnout then they did in 2020. Do we have data on how many new republican registrations there were vs democrats? Do we have data on democrats who voted republican this cycle? Dems had 13 million less votes this time around, where did those people go? Isn’t this “shift” actually just a reflection of that 13 million less democrats? What about those who abstained, what about those who voted 3rd party? Shift seems to imply that Dems are becoming Republicans, which could actually be that Dems are becoming non-voters or 3rd party voters.
