Most studies show that all else being equal, we take votes equally from three places, unique votes that would not have been cast otherwise, Republicans and Democrats.. It's an urban legend that we hurt one side or another. Unless we specifically target someone by supporting or opposing them. I have personally helped and hurt both Republicans and Democrats. I have likewise been thanked by both in person and on TV for getting them elected. Of course, I have never supported a D or R if a Libertarian was running.

I've tried to explain that we generally take votes from people that wouldn't neccessarily vote. But this person thinks we take votes more from republicans than democrats, and she wants a breakdown. I've heard people argue the question, but haven't actually seen any studies. Are there any? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
