Let me ask you, so we've
seen low turnout
elections
in the past, and that
was at a time
when conservatives
really won a lot of these races.
When there was lower
turnout,
when their consistent
voters from the suburbs
of Milwaukee
came out to vote no
matter what,
and the liberal
candidates really
struggled
to get the attention
that they needed to win these races.
And then we saw things
flip
from Rebecca Dalit on in 2018.
So what do you see as
the impact
of less attention right
now on this race?
- I think we'll find out
what a less attention
race means here.
I think though, in the
era of Donald Trump for
one,
since Donald Trump
realigned
the Republican Party
and its base of voters,
a base that reliably
elected conservative
justices
for many years up until
around 2017,
we don't know what that
shift is going to mean
in a lower turnout
election,
but we know that
conservatives start out
at kind of a structural
disadvantage in these races.
And we also know that
liberals
have just found a
pattern for what it
takes to run,
talk about their values.
They're not afraid to
talk about cases that have happened.
They're not afraid to
talk about women's
health,
and it's just been a
winning formula for them.
