Yes, this was one of the early hot takes from the watch parties last night. Dems, at least in our local area, brook no dissent in the ranks. They all line up in lockstep and they volunteer more and donate more money than R's. R's are more independent, vary more in their positions, and fight amongst themselves in public. There were some nasty primaries in some of the races that siphoned off $ and support in the general, as there are still some mad their candidate lost in August. No doubt some of them stayed home. No doubt D's have some internal battles as well, but its all behind closed doors. Very few primaries, they keep their powder dry for the general. And they vote in greater numbers. We don't have party registration in MO but I have worked the last 8 elections. Candidate apparel is banned at the polls, but yesterday, for example, was AMAZED at how many people showed up wearing N-95s, maybe 15%, and then there are the pride shirts, rainbow pins, and other SJW slogans on their t-shits. Way more than people voting with flag shirts on. And this was a red precinct.
