Why was GOP turnout so high relative to Democratic turnout?

[ProgressiveModerate]

This election, it seems likely that registered GOP turnout was above 90%, or in the mid to high 80s at the very least. Registered Democrats on the other hand had a turnout that is estimated to be around 60% give or take 5-7% or so.

Democrats ultimately still won because there simply are more registered Democrats and because Independents broke strongly for Biden, but I just think this is interesting.

Could you imagine what 2020 would've been like if the GOP and Democrats had roughly equal turnout?

What kinds of voters would go out of their way to register with a party but not vote in 2020?

Why is the GOP so darn good at turnout out?

I have so many questions.

I talked about my methodology in this thread: https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=425065.0

I do think it should worry Democrats that their turnout was pretty mediocre despite the circumstances and it should worry the GOP that they still lost the Senate and the White House despite having a significant turnout advantage.

Trump is someone who is very effective in firing up the Republican base and getting them to turn out. I don’t think you could say the same for Romney or other more establishment Republicans.

1. Because minorities turnout less than whites. Hildago TX and Montgomery PA have roughly the same amount of people yet Montgomery cast 300K more votes.

2. Your methodology seems off.
