Examples of turnout in a Sentence

  1. Pearson Cross:

    This election has not been about Bill Cassidy, this election has been about the negative press that the President has gotten and the ability of Bill Cassidy to tie Barack Obama and( Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid to Mary Landrieu. In this final act Saturday, the Louisiana race will test the limits of the vaunted Mary Landrieu turnout operation, particularly in Orleans Parish, which has been the family stronghold for generations. After Hurricane Katrina, Mary Landrieu operatives were vigilant about maintaining their voter data — scrubbing their voter files to make sure addresses and phone numbers were up to date after each purge of voters who had moved out of state by the Secretary of State's office. Landrieu's campaign also partnered with the Democratic Party to register scores of new voters across the state this year, focusing particularly on ushering new black voters into the party. In Saturday's election, it is hard to underestimate the importance of Landrieu's turnout operation in Orleans Parish, which encompasses the city of New Orleans.

  2. Ezekiel Emanuel:

    If the consequence of us not talking about it is that turnout is low, that's a bad thing.

  3. President Obama:

    If we can significantly increase voter turnout so that low income people and working people and young people participated in the political process, if we got a voter turnout of 75 percent, this country would be radically transformed.

  4. Tom Hucker:

  5. Terry McAuliffe:

    Donald Trump wants to win here so Donald Trump can announce for president for 2024, that’s the stakes of this election. Donald Trump wants to get Donald Trump off the mat. The strategy is simple : Opposition to Donald Trump sparked heavy turnout by Democrats during Donald Trump presidency, helping to fuel the blue wave that enabled the Democrats to convincingly win back the House of Representatives in the 2018 midterms and help propel Biden to victory over Trump in last November's election.And while he continued to hold plenty of sway over Republican voters in Virginia and nationwide as he flirts with another White House run, the final polls in the Virginia race indicated that Donald Trump remains very unpopular among Democrats and independent voters in the commonwealth.
