Will Beautiful Weather Affect Voter Turnout?

Hello there, beautiful weather.

Perry Hall is sunny with a high near 82 degrees and a northwest wind around 14 miles per hour, according to the National Weather Service.

But how will today's clear skies affect voter turnout?

According to Professor James G. Gimpel, an expert in American politics at the University of Maryland, College Park, rainy days can reduce the number of voters by 2 or 3 percent, yet research on the impact of good weather is inconclusive.

"It's just bad weather that makes a major difference," he said.
