re: No, you have it reversed. Supposedly, rain benefits the Dems, and hurts the GOP. This from my local paper... Democrats hope rain, rain stays away New research says bad weather can cut into Democrats’ voter turnout. Its news to me. Its always been the other way around. "Why are Democrats affected more? Political operatives believe it’s a matter of demographics. Democratic voters tend to be poorer than Republicans and may not have cars to drive to the polls. Those voters, the theory goes, would be more likely to stay home in bad weather." And this doesn't make sense to me. Most people do have cars. Secondly, most polling places are within walking distance. Mine here in Seattle is three blocks away. In LA it was a block away. Thirdly, GOTV means some people have to be driven to their polling place......both parties understand that premise and make arrangements accordingly. Sorry, but I am not buying their argument.
