With roughly 25,000 additional ballots going out, some increase in ballot returns was inevitable.
But the difference between 2008 and today isn't explained by a higher number of ballots mailed out.
So... what does this likely mean?
It likely means bad news for the democrats.
When combined with polling that documents a right shift by even the electorate of this state....
