re: #302 Interesting Times

I recall a few people here speculating that AOC only won because of low turnout in the NY-14 primary. Well…see last point in this tweet - everything’s relative:

Not sure where check mark 4 comes from:

Though Ocasio-Cortez whipped up energy among voters in the Queens and Bronx district, and there is little to compare voter turnout to because Crowley had not been challenged since 2004, the primary election was decided, like most elections in New York, by a relatively small number of people.

…With 235,745 registered Democrats as of April, according to the BOE, this comes out to a turnout of around 11.8 percent. This turnout is about the same as in Crowley’s last competitive primary, in 2004.

OK—she’s saying last off-year midterm primary, but when would that have been?
