Alberta Election: The reason for the record turnout so far.

Here's something I whipped up on Sunday. Its about the record turnout numbers in the Big Election.

Alberta Election: Advanced polls blowout

The advanced polls in the Alberta election are now closed. They were record breaking. The turnout has been 3 to 4x the turnout of the advanced polls in the previous election.

Day1 had a whopping 140000 votes. It’s like releasing the valve on a pressure cooker.

Day2 had 135000 votes.

By day 3 400,000 early ballots had been cast

It’s Sunday now but I believe that last day of advanced polling, a Saturday, will net 200,000 votes. 700,000 advanced votes. It’s incredible! 3.5x the 200k that voted early in 2015

If you look at some of the articles from the lame stream media, not a single journalist tries to interpret the result. Results from the advanced polls will be known, however so its easy to see why none of them would want to risk their reputation on a guess. It’s ironic to me that being outside the journalistic profession frees me to provide analysis that real journalists will shy away from.

Not being a journalist, I have no such dilemma. I’m not afraid too say what everyone is already thinking: the advance polls reflect the frustration felt by most Albertans with the NDP government. These record poll numbers aren’t just the number of people who can’t make it out to vote on election day. These are people who simply cannot wait to get their vote recorded. These voters are frantic to remove the epic disaster that befell their province known as the NDP. These are predominantly UCP voters.

As a rule, high turnout advanced polls do not favor the incumbent. A low turnout favors the incumbent. There’s no urgency to vote in that case. The voter already has the government they want. So they put it off to the actual election day.

A similar dynamic applies in bye-elections. In a state where the ruling party is widely despised, such as the Trudeau Government, any chance to rebuke the idiots in power will draw out more voters than the average in a general election.

This was my own experience in this provincial Alberta election. I voted on the second day. The entire previous day felt like I had ants in my pants. The means to depose, Rachel Notley’s terrible, inept and misguided government were finally, finally, available. What if fell into a coma, I thought in a bout of paranoia. What if I missed this chance to vote out the socialists that I waited years to fulfill? I could barely sit still knowing it was possible to cast my vote and cast them out once and for all. What a relief I felt when it was done.

That’s the theme of this whole election. Get this horrific government off our back. We can’t stand it any longer. That’s what all those early voters are feeling. They are compelled and propelled to the polls to get their vote in at the earliest convenience. They want to put an end to the ideologically inspired mistakes and outright attacks on the people of this province and their livelihoods.

That is what drives these exceptionally high turnouts.
