Weather May Sway Voter Turnout in Key Swing States

Forecasts predict rain in Michigan and Wisconsin, potentially impacting the tight presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

  • Rain is expected in Michigan and Wisconsin on Election Day, which could deter some voters from going to the polls.
  • Studies suggest that rainy weather tends to reduce Democratic turnout more than Republican, potentially influencing election outcomes.
  • While early voting has mitigated some weather-related impacts, millions still plan to vote on Election Day, making weather a factor to watch.
  • In contrast to Michigan and Wisconsin, swing states like Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada are forecasted to have dry weather, possibly aiding voter turnout.
  • Political strategists suggest that the high motivation among voters this election cycle may lessen the impact of weather on turnout.
