For a number of state elections, they had been averaging 50 to 54 percent on registered voters showing up.
Well....after the smoke had cleared, for yesterday's election....they had around 65 percent who showed up. It did screw up the polling data a bit.
Who got the 'new' voters? Mostly the Linke Party and AfD Party.
An indicator of something? Some might go and suggest that the non-voters around in Germany are fed up with both the SPD and CDU parties. But that's simply a guess from this one single election.
I would suggest that this idea doesn't fit well for Hamburg's Feb election. But it does suggest that the 2021 national election might be in for crazy voting.
