2014 was an aberration because the Senate map and the competitive governor races left the largest states without competitive top of the ticket races that drive turnout. Don't know how many times I had to debunk idea 2014 was part of a larger decline in civic engagement

Aren't there potentially "aberrational" qualities to every midterm cycle? Example: there was no GOP senate candidate in CA this year, which may have depressed turnout somewhat. Fact remains that 2014 was a significant ebb.

I'll guess that both sides are now using the ballot box more to attack the other than to shape public policy. If so, not a good trend.

When you activate tons of people to come out to vote, who normally would not, they don't even know what they are voting on, and usually don't care. Everyone else suffers the consequences as the most well-funded propaganda projects win by a landslide.
