There’s a realignment in American politics. That’s great news – Republicans are welcoming new people into their party, as last year’s presidential elections showed.

But even the best developments have their downsides. We’re seeing one of them now—in this week’s special election congressional race in Florida and the Supreme Court election in Wisconsin. The Florida race is closer than it should be—and the Wisconsin contest is a nail-biter.

Republicans once had the edge in off-year elections. But with the new voter realignment President Trump has spearheaded, that’s no longer the case. The Democratic Party is no longer the party of “low propensity” voters—that is, the people who tend to vote in presidential years, but not in off years. Now that’s the Republican Party.

If the GOP intends to succeed, it must find a way to mobilize its new voters in every election. Conservatives in Wisconsin and Florida need to get out the vote!
