I also think we should include general folders for the Democrats and Republicans

I'm not sure what the statistics are, but many people just vote for the person with the preferred letter next to their name without doing much research on the candidates themselves

in a way, it's not just candidate vs candidate (though the qualities of the candidate definitely matter for many voters), it's party vs party

the Democrats have a well-oiled machine when it comes to getting out the vote

they have buses and cars that take voters from low income minority areas to the polls

they probably guide them in filling out everything in the voting process

in the Alabama election, 92% of of Hillary voters turned out for Jones, while less than 50% of Trump voters turned out for Moore

if the Democrats didn't have such an efficient GOTV system, they probably wouldn't have won in Alabama

Yeah, especially now more than ever regarding the party v party

what's interesting is that you can view the numbers as pretty consistent. The amount of people who voted for Hillary compared with the amount of people who voted for Jones is pretty close. Maybe you can treat that as some sort of constant?

in comparison, 71% of Hillary's voter amount went to Ralph Northam (in Virginia)

only 66% of Trump's voter amount went to Gillespie. Seems pretty similar. I think a lot of NoVa (well-to-do white and asian) liberal voters don't need GOTV efforts to vote
